Answer to Question 1

An increase in the foreign exchange rate decreases U.S. aggregate demand. The foreign exchange rate is the amount of a foreign currency that a dollar can buy. If the exchange rate rises, a dollar buys more foreign currency. As a result, foreign goods and services become cheaper to U.S. citizens because U.S. citizens need to spend fewer dollars to buy foreign-produced goods and services. Simultaneously, U.S.-produced goods and services become more expensive to foreigners because they must spend more of their currency in order to buy the dollars necessary to buy the U.S.-produced goods and services. As a result, U.S. imports increase and U.S. exports decrease, both of which decrease U.S. aggregate demand.
