Answer to Question 1

If the dollar is overvalued, that means that the current exchange rate (foreign currency per dollar) is greater than the relative purchasing power of the dollar. This implies that currency traders will reduce their holdings of dollars (the supply curve for dollars will shift to the right) and increase their holdings of other currencies against which the dollar is overvalued. As the supply of dollars increases, the exchange rate will fall. The exchange rate will continue to fall until the dollar's value accurately reflects its relative purchasing power.
