Answer to Question 1

Graph should look like Figure 11.6 in the text. After a depreciation, there is usually a short period of no noticeable impact on the flow of goods and services. When imports and exports begin to respond, the immediate change is an increase in the value of imports, pushing the current account balance deeper into deficit. A depreciation makes foreign goods immediately more expensive, but it takes time for households and businesses to find substitutes. Over time, domestic buyers substitute away from imports, and likewise, the appreciation of the foreign currency increases the demand for exports (which are also likely to be slow to adjust in the short run). Thus eventually, the current account balance should improve.

Answer to Question 2

A
