Answer to Question 1

Expectations affect consumption in two ways. First, expectations affect consumption directly through human wealth: To compute their human wealth, consumers have to form their own expectations about future labor income, real interest rates, and taxes. Second, expectations affect consumption indirectly, through nonhuman wealth-stocks, bonds and housing: The prices of these assets depend on expectations of future cash flows and interest rates.

Answer to Question 2

An increase in M will cause the LM curve to shift down and the interest rate to fall. As the interest rate falls, firms will increase investment causing an increase in demand and subsequent increase in output. So, the interest rate will fall and Y will rise. I will be higher due to the rise in Y and drop in the interest rate.
