Answer to Question 1

Am increase in the money supply leads to an increase in Y and E (output increases and the currency depreciates, respectively). Because of the currency depreciation, domestic goods are now cheaper compared to foreign goods. Exports increase and imports decrease, therefore the CAB increases.
An expansion of fiscal policy actually reduces the CAB: the DD curve is shifted right. Therefore Y rises, but E falls (output rises but the currency appreciates.) Domestic goods are more expensive, and the CAB falls.

Answer to Question 2

A
