Answer to Question 1

(1.) A change in the costs of an input  for example, due to a change in the price of an input or change in technology.
(2.) A change in the number of firms in the industry.

Answer to Question 2

Supervising employees is costly but often necessary to insure that workers are doing their jobs. Paying workers a wage that is higher than the market-clearing wage may actually result in workers being more productive and less inclined to loaf around if the cost of losing one's job means a significant salary reduction.
