Lisa Morrison · Answer 1

The right answers are either b. or d., or both.

Explanation:

When the dollar loses value, there is higher demand for foreign imports in a country because they become cheaper. When the dollar gains in value, a foreign country's exports increase. Changes in the value of currencies reflect changes in demand and supply. An increase in exports will shift the demand curve of the dollar higher. A reduction of imports will have a contrary effect.
