Ok dude here you go..
Balance of payment records all the transactions a country's residents do with the residents/firms of other countries. It includes the following accounts:
1. current account (i.e. trade in goods, trade in services, income transfers)
2. capital account
3. financial position.

Balance of trade is the difference between the net exports and net imports.
If for example the exports are worth $100 million and imports are woth $80million then BoT would be $20million surplus. and if the trading position would have been vice versa then BoP would have been $20 deficit.
