National output, aka GNP, is the sum of C+I+G+(X-M) (X-M is net exports).

So, for each scenario, decide how one (or more) of the above factors would change. A fall in interest rates should spur investments (I), an appreciation of the home currency should make imports cheaper and exports more expensive, a tax cut should increase disposable income which increases consumption, (A cut in Foreign? whats that). Anyway, take it from here.
