Answer to Question 1

The more elastic the demand for a given supply, the smaller the increase in the price paid by the buyers and the greater the decrease in the price received by the sellers, which means that the incidence on buyers is smaller. Additionally, the more elastic the demand, the smaller the quantity bought so the smaller the tax revenue; and the larger the deadweight loss.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
