Answer to Question 1

There may be a variety of answers depending on what was emphasized in the lecture. The answer should include the existence of surplus labor in the rural sector that guarantees an infinitely elastic labor supply in industry until the surplus is exhausted and a propensity to save by industrialists equal to one.
