Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The foreign exchange market is in equilibrium when deposits of all currencies offer the same expected rate of return. Potential holders of foreign currency deposits view them all as equally desirable assets. If expected rate of return on any currency deposit is higher or lower than the other, there will exist an excess supply or demand for that currency because one will yield a higher return than the other.
