      Solution

      Marshall−Lerner condition ensures that devaluation improves a country’s balance of trade position if the sum of the price elasticities of demand for exports and imports (in absolute value) is greater than 1. Assuming that this condition is being fulfilled, then depreciation in exchange rate will decrease the current account deficit.
