Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Tax incidence refers to the distribution of tax burdens among various groups in society. The tax incidence of the personal income tax is on those who pay the taxes. On the other hand, economists are uncertain as to the tax incidence of the corporate income tax. It may be borne by stockholders, consumers, workers, or bondholders.
