Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

People often donate less when it is costlier to give. The opportunity cost of charitable giving increases when the income tax rate falls because the donator can enjoy a larger amount of money if he does not donate. For example, a person contributing 100 to charity and facing an income tax rate of 20 will have only 80 if he does not contribute. However, if the income tax rate falls to 15, he will have 85 if he does not contribute. This is exactly what happened in Richland.
