Answer to Question 1

Economic expansion increases consumer incomes, which will increase the demand for normal goods and decrease the demand for inferior goods. Thus a producer of normal goods might be anticipating a future increase in demand and thus considering expansion, while a producer of inferior goods might be preparing for a decrease in demand and considering contraction or a movement into a different good line.

Answer to Question 2

B
