Answer to Question 1

Assuming the supply curve is not perfectly inelastic; the auto salesmen will be able to shift some of the tax burden onto car buyers through higher prices as a result of the supply curve shifting upward by the amount of the tax. It would not matter if the demanders were legally required to pay the tax. If the demanders were legally required to pay the tax their demand curve would just shift downward by the amount of the tax, leading to lower prices and output. As long as the amount of the tax was the same, it would not matter who was statutorily required to pay the tax.

Answer to Question 2

D
