Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Tax incidence is the ultimate distribution of a tax's burden. The incidence of the payroll tax is determined by the elasticity of labor supply. The graphs illustrate that the more elastic the supply, the greater the tax burden that is borne by the firm. Studies indicate that most of the payroll tax in the U.S. is probably borne by workers. Workers probably bear most of the burden of the payroll tax because the elasticity of labor supply is close to zero.
