Sorry I need this point s

Answer 2

Answer:

Not sure but this is how the mister solved it with us. If u see any wrong answers please help by correcting it.

A) a correctly labeled graph is attached

B)

( i ) increase, because the demand of Japanese good will increase, which will increase the net exports.

( ii ) decrease, because the demand for labor will go up (increase), leading to a decrease in the unemployment.

( ii ) stay the same, because the long-run aggregate supply will not be affected by the increase in income.

C) the graph is attached

D) There will be financial capital outflows

Explanation:

There will be a decrease In the interest rate, as well as an increase in the supply of loanable funds, which has changed the equilibrium rate, by that the financial capital flow will be decreasing ( outflow )

E) that the dollar will depreciate the financial capital will flow out of the United

States seeking higher returns on financial investments in foreign countries, which will result in a decrease in the

demand for the dollar or an increase in the supply of the dollar.

Explanation:

It will depreciate, because initially when the dollar was worth a lot of money, people will buy more yen, if that keeps going on the yen will become stronger, because its demand will increase, but the dollar will decrease in value. ( depreciate)

- increase the supply of the dollar

- decrease the demand of the dollar

F) it will sell the yen in the foreign exchange market, by that the supply of the yen will increase and the demand of the dollar will increase, which will cause an appreciation to the dollar to yen.
