Answer to Question 1

Percentage change in quantity demanded is 1.24 . Percentage change in price is -0.67 . The price elasticity of demand for DVD players is 1.86 or relatively elastic.

Answer to Question 2

a) The equilibrium wage rate is 8 an hour and the equilibrium quantity of employment is 4,000 workers.
b) If the wage rate is 6 an hour, the quantity of labor supplied is less than the quantity of labor demanded. There is a shortage in the market.
c) If the wage rate is 12 an hour, the quantity of labor supplied is greater than the quantity of labor demanded. There is a surplus in the market.
d) An increase in the number of people who eat in fast-food restaurants will increase the demand for workers at fast-food restaurants. As a result the demand for labor curve will shift rightward and the equilibrium wage rate and equilibrium quantity of employment will both increase.
