A national government has recently implemented an expansionary monetary policy to stimulate the economy. 'SunWind Energy', a renewable energy firm, is assessing the macroeconomic impact on its operations.

Which TWO of the following are likely consequences of this expansionary monetary policy for SunWind Energy?

Expansionary monetary policy involves increasing the money supply and lowering interest rates. This makes borrowing cheaper for companies like SunWind Energy (Option A). The resulting economic stimulation generally increases aggregate demand, leading to higher energy consumption (Option C). Option B is incorrect because lower interest rates typically cause currency depreciation. Option D is incorrect because tax changes are fiscal, not monetary, policy.
