Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

In a fixed exchange rate system, a country faces a balance of payments surplus when the demand for its currency exceeds the supply at the fixed exchange rate. The country can increase the value at which the currency is pegged to reduce its net exports; this is called a revaluation. The opposite would be the case for a devaluation.
