Answer to Question 1

Because the equilibrium wage and employment are determined at the point of intersection of the labor demand and supply curves, shifts in the demand curve affect these variables. A right shift in the demand for labor, without any change in the supply of labor, will lead to higher wages and employment levels. On the other hand, a left shift in the demand for labor, without any change in the supply of labor, will lead to lower wages and employment levels.

Answer to Question 2

D
