Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Since the dollar and the Yen interest rates are not measured in comparable terms, they can move quite differently over time. Except for a period from 1990 to 1993 when the Yen interest rate was higher than the dollar, dollar interest rates have been higher than the Yen, indicating depreciation of the dollar against the Yen.
