Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

A good that can be produced using commonly available resources has costs that increase only a little when its production increases. Its supply will be more elastic. If, however, the production of a good requires very specialized resources, an increase in production will be very costly. Its supply will be more inelastic.
