Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The graphs resemble Fig. 13.10 with all shifts reversed. The increase in the real interest rate causes a decrease in expenditures (AD shifts down). Declining inflation lowers the real interest rate (movement along the MP curve), which increases expenditures (movement along the AD curve). Since there has been no shift of the IS curve, the real interest rate must return to its original value, so that aggregate demand is equal to potential output.
