Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

a) The quantity of umpires supplied is 20 umpires.
b) At 90 a game, there is a shortage of umpires. The shortage equals the quantity demanded, 50 umpires, minus the quantity supplied, 20 umpires, for a shortage of 30 umpires.
c) The equilibrium wage rate is 120 a game and the equilibrium quantity is 40 umpires.
