Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

When households decide how much labor to provide in the labor market, they compare the market wage rate to the value of the lost leisure that supplying labor would entail. If the market wage rate exceeds the individual's reservation wage rate, the individual forgoes leisure and supplies labor to the labor market. The quantity of labor the person supplies depends on the wage rate. At most wage rates the substitution effect dominates the income effect so that a person increases the quantity of labor supplied if the wage rate rises. But at high wage rates the income effect dominates the substitution effect so that a person decreases the quantity of labor supplied if the wage rate increases.
