Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The three factors that can push the real wage rate above the equilibrium wage rate are efficiency wages, the minimum wage, and union wages. An efficiency wage is a wage rate that is set by a firm above the equilibrium wage rate. The idea is that the firm's workers will work hard in order to keep their jobs because they know that if they are fired the (equilibrium) wage they are likely to get at a new job will be less than the efficiency wage. The minimum wage is a government regulation that sets the lowest legal wage. If the minimum wage is set above the equilibrium wage rate, the equilibrium wage rate becomes illegal. Finally, a union wage is a wage rate that results from bargaining between a firm and a labor union. Typically the labor union can negotiate a wage rate that exceeds the equilibrium level in a competitive market.
