Solution

The correct answers according to the Mundell-Fleming Model are:

A. In a flexible exchange rate system, an increase in the interest rate will lead to an appreciation of the domestic currency. This is because higher interest rates attract foreign investors looking for higher returns, increasing demand for the domestic currency and causing it to appreciate.

B. An increase in government spending in a small open economy will not always lead to a depreciation of currency. It depends on the exchange rate regime. Under a flexible exchange rate, the currency may appreciate due to increased interest rates. Under a fixed exchange rate, the currency value doesn't change.

C. Under fixed exchange rates, a decrease in the money supply will not result in a depreciation of currency. Instead, it will lead to an increase in interest rates. The exchange rate remains fixed as the central bank intervenes to maintain its value.

D. In a closed economy, changes in fiscal and monetary policy have no impact on the exchange rate. This is because in a closed economy, there are no foreign exchange transactions, and hence, no exchange rate to be affected.
