Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

a. The figure above shows the effect of an increase in productivity in the labor market. The increase in productivity shifts the labor demand curve rightward and, as illustrated, raises the real wage rate and increases the quantity of employment.

b. The production function shifts upward as shown in the figure. Potential GDP increases for two reasons: there is a greater quantity of labor, and the new production function is higher than the old one.
