Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

With an expansionary monetary policy in an open economy with floating exchange rates, the MP curve shifts down, which leads to a higher output gap and decreases the real interest rate. The lower real interest rate makes investment less attractive in the United States, so net capital outflows increase. The dollar depreciates in value, and net exports and output increase.
