Answer to Question 1

The first interpretation is that the demand curve shows the quantities of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to buy at each price, other things being equal. The second interpretation is that the demand curve is a willingness-and-ability-to-pay curve, so that for each quantity it shows the highest price that someone is willing and able to pay for one more unit.
