Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Delta's sales are likely to fluctuate during the business cycle less than the sales of Whirlpool and Boeing, but more than the sales of Taco Bell and GameStop. Appliances and aircraft are expensive durable goods that are sensitive to changes in economic conditions. On the other hand, fast food and video games are relatively inexpensive consumer goods that are relatively less sensitive to changes in economic conditions.
