Not all answers are written, however audio has complete all the models and drills. So with the audio you have everything.
The Modern Russian workbooks do not have answer keys or audio. (These later produced two books are not need but helpful.)
I would recommend the Instuctor's Manual. It is helpful in understand the way the course is set up and used.

You are welcome.
Update to the topic. Since the topic started Audioform has closed. At the end of last year, Washington U. Press was printing vol 1. I have not seen any listings for the audio.

Cafe Lango has picked up where Audio Forum has left off, right down to the same URL (http://audioforum.com) and the same hefty prices as shown here for the offerings of Modern Russian I & II.

I've managed to purchase the second volume of Modern Russian 1 through Amazon. I haven't received it yet though. I couldn't find the audio, so I picked it up in Uzbekistan.

Ahhhhhhh.
My heart waxes for Modern Russian I and II... These were the courses I used to teach myself Russian ( my first
language after Spanish) ) back in the 90's. They are better than most FSI courses IMHO.
"Как шпионы?" (on a Russian airplane) "But what about the spies?"
" A шпионы?!?" "The Spies?!"
"Мы разве любим ваш джаз!!" "But we really love your Jazz!"
After getting through book I , I decided to take a Russian class and after the first lesson the teacher looked at me
dumb-foundedly... " are you RUSSIAN?!?!" he asked. "no" , I said.
"well I have never heard a foreigner speak Russian so well!" .
No joke! Granted it WAS a high beginner class but needless to say, I think this course is great.

Ha ha ha !! Yeah, Uzbekistan .... that is brilliant. Since the publisher doesn't make the audio anymore and the
course is 50 years old I think your conscience can rest easy getting it from "Uzbekistan". I REALLY wish
Georgetown would remaster all the tapes and put them on 1 mp3 disc like they did with all their Arabic courses.
( and sell the whole package for $30 like they did with their Arabic courses!!)
