Answer to Question 1

When households and businesses expect interest rates to remain low, they are more willing to spend now and, even, to borrow, knowing that they will earn little on saving and be able to borrow in the future, at low cost, if they so choose. This willingness to spend and borrow, combined with an increase in the money supply by increasing bank deposits, will increase aggregate demand, so long as the banks can find suitable borrowers.

Answer to Question 2

E
