Answer to Question 1

Any change that affects the entire schedule relating the quantity of labor and the value of marginal product of labor will shift the labor demand curve.
Factors that can cause the labor demand curve to shift rightward are:
a) Increase in output prices: If the price of the output the labor is used to produce increases, the labor demand curve shifts rightward.
b) Technology and productivity: If technological progress increases labor productivity, the demand schedule for labor shifts to the right.
c) Falling input prices: If there is a fall in the price of inputs that are combined with labor to produce output, the labor demand curve shifts rightward.

Answer to Question 2

A
