Answer to Question 1

When the Fed purchases bonds in the open market, they transfer money to the market, so the money supply increases. When the money supply increases, money becomes less expensive to obtain, which means interest rates are lower. Lower interest rates will encourage more investment spending, and when investment spending increases, GDP will increase.

Answer to Question 2

A
