Answer to Question 1

Because Japan is a large open economy, the decrease in the demand for loanable funds in Japan will lower the world real interest rate. At a lower real interest rate, businesses in the United States will increase their spending on plant and equipment. Note that this answer ignores the potentially offsetting effect operating through the impact of lower spending on plant and equipment in Japan on Japanese national income and on Japanese demand for goods and services produced in the United States.

Answer to Question 2

D
