Answer to Question 1

The statement is true. If two inputs are complements, the presence of one will increase the productivity of the other. For example, if capital and labor are complements, the presence of capital will increase the demand for labor. However, it is possible for two inputs to be substitutes for one another. In that case, the presence of one will lead to a drop in the demand for the other.
