Answer to Question 1

In an open economy, the lower interest rate resulting from expansionary monetary policy will affect not only consumption and domestic investment, but it will also affect net exports and net capital flows. Lower interest rates will decrease capital inflows and increase capital outflows, resulting in a decrease in the exchange rate (when stated in terms of foreign currency per domestic currency) which will increase net exports. The result is that monetary policy has a stronger effect in an open economy than in a closed economy.

Answer to Question 2

A

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
