Answer to Question 1

As GDP increases in the United States due to the expansion, the incomes of households rise. Households respond by increasing their purchases of goods and services. Some of the increase in purchases includes domestic goods and services; some of the increase includes foreign produced goods and services. This essentially raises imports. Assuming that exports do not change, net exports will fall.
