Answer to Question 1

The highest component of GNP is consumption and the U.S. has a negative current balance.

Answer to Question 2

There are two effects to consider. A rise in the interest rate offered by dollar deposits combined with a constant expected exchange rate will cause the dollar to appreciate (see Figure 14-5 from the text). However, the expected exchange rate will likely change. As Figure 14-6 from the text shows, if the expected exchange rate increases, the dollar will depreciate.
