Answer to Question 1

Households will supply labor as long as the wage they receive exceeds the value of leisure or the value from unpaid work.

Answer to Question 2

Since the income elasticity of food is less than one that means that expenditure on food tends to represent a higher portion of a poor person's income. By making unprepared foods exempt from sales tax policymakers are attempting to reduce the regressivity of the sales tax overall.
