Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Counter to the anticipated economic effect of higher prices causing a decrease in demand, for some products and services, higher prices can make a purchase seem more appealing. For some purchases, customers use price as a cue to quality, implicitly reasoning that the brand can command a high price because its quality is so good. That argument assumes a belief in the efficiency of the marketplace, yet many studies have demonstrated that there is no correlation between price and quality for most product categories. But our beliefs persist. A price's role as a cue is so strong that prices are known to contribute to the formation of expectations prior to a purchase. A price is a clear, tangible cue, and higher prices set higher expectations.
