Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Eliminating the income tax on wages increases the opportunity cost of leisure because the after-tax wage is now higher than it was. Workers will also earn more income for any given number of hours worked. Whether workers will end up supplying more hours at each wage rate depends on whether the substitution effect of this increase in the after-tax wage is greater than the income effect.
