Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The tax discourages transactions in ATVs. By raising the final price of ATVs to buyers, some buyers end up leaving the ATV market and purchasing something else they do not like as well. The tax also discourages some ATV producers, who end up in some other occupation for which they may not be as well suited.
