Answer to Question 1

Producer surplus is the area above the supply curve and below the market price.

Answer to Question 2

An increase in income will lead to a higher demand for leisure. However, an increase in the wage rate will also make leisure more expensive. Since these two effects are moving in opposite directions of one another theory alone cannot tell us the net effect without knowing the absolute change of the income and substitution effects.
