Explanation / Answer

Answer 1

D A reduction in the real exchange rate

other options mentioned in question would not increase net exports .Therefore option D is correct answer .

Answer 2

A . A reduction in domestic output

If we decrease the domestic output the goods generated would be more and thus the net export of the country could be increased . Whereas the other option won,t increase the net exports of the country.

Answer 3

E. None of the above

the correct quation is  I + G - T + NX so the above options given are wrong

Answer 4

B. A real depreciation

Real depreciation is the best key factor by which policy makers can increase both the Y and NX. While the the option a.c.d bith the factors can not be increased by policy makers at once .

Answer 5

B Ip curve shift to the left and becomes steeper

Ip curve generally shifts to right when foreign interest rates increase . Therefore option c and option d are not valid as in the quesion the foreign interest rate becomes lower . when the IP curve shift to left it lifts up . So option B is correct .
