Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Under floating rate: The DD curve shifts right. AA does not change because the temporary increase will not affect the long run expected exchange rate. Output rises and E falls (depreciates).
Under fixed rate: The DD curve shifts right. The central bank intervenes to prevent a change in the exchange rate. By selling domestic currency they expand the domestic supply and the AA curve shifts right, keeping E constant. Output however will rise due to the new equilibrium of the DD and AA curves to the right of its former location.
