Answer to Question 1

a. The price of slaves would be lower and the wages of free workers would be lower. The supply for slaves would shift out, thus lowering the price of slaves and increasing the quantity of slaves. Because slaves and free workers are substitutes, the demand curve for free workers would decrease, thus decreasing both the price and quantity of free labor.

Answer to Question 2

b. Borrow from the public
