Answer to Question 1

A decrease in the interest rate in Mexico will cause a decrease in the willingness to invest in Mexico. This will cause a fall in the demand for pesos and cause it to depreciate. A depreciation of the peso will encourage exports and discourage imports causing net exports from Mexico to rise. This will cause an increase in the GDP of Mexico.

Answer to Question 2

The firm will increase its production after its excess inventory gets sold off after the recession. An increase in production will lead to an increase in its demand for labor. As a result, the firm's labor demand curve will shift to the right.
