Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

An increase in government purchases financed by an increase in the deficit will reduce the supply of loanable funds, thereby increasing the interest rate. The increase in the interest rate will increase the demand for dollars (as capital inflows increase) and reduce the supply of dollars (as capital outflows decrease). Both the increase in the demand for dollars and the decrease in the supply of dollars will increase the equilibrium exchange rate, as shown below.
