a) This is an import. The invoice would show capital inflows in the form of goods and outflows in the form of foreign currency. To purchase a car, Boyan would have to purchase foreign currency and get it out the country.

b) This is an export. The goods would be moved outside the country. The account would show the inflow of capital in the form of dollars that would be exchanged by Pete at the country's bank.
