Answer to Question 1

The government should use dynamic tax analysis. When estimating the expected revenue generated by the sales tax, it is important to remember that the tax base could be influenced. If the tax base decreases sufficiently in response to a tax-rate increase, total revenues may be reduced even though there has been an increase in the sales tax rate.

Answer to Question 2

D
