AED 1200 is higher than Equilibrium wage rate, so when wage rate is AED1200,
Quantity of labor demanded = LD10
Quantity of labor supplied = LS15
Surplus = LS15 - LD10
At equilibrium wage rate of AED1000,
Equilibrium quantity of labor = LE12

(i) In any economy, the quantity of money supplied is determined and fixed by its Central Bank. Since money supply is autonomously determined, the quantity of money is fixed at a point of time and money supply curve is vertical.
(ii) If interest rate rises above equilibrium interest rate, opportunity cost of holding money increases, therefore quantity of money demanded decreases at a level lower than the quantity of money supplied.
(iii) If interest rate falls below equilibrium interest rate, opportunity cost of holding money decreases, therefore quantity of money demanded increases at a level higher than the quantity of money supplied.

Assume that the labor market for unskilled labor in a particular region is perfectly competitive (this is a bit unrealistic, as it assumes that all unskilled labor is homogeneous – but it’s a reasonably good approximation.) Let W be the wage rate (price of labor) and L be the number of workers. Suppose the demand for unskilled labor is given by WD = 20 – L and the supply of labor is given by WS = 5 + 0.5L What...
