Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Tony is confusing a change in demand (a shift of the demand curve) with a change in quantity demanded (a movement along the demand curve). An increase in the price of his pizza cannot cause the demand for his pizza to decline, that is, it cannot shift the demand curve for his pizza leftward. The rise in the price results in a decrease in the quantity of pizza demanded. So Tony need not fear that the demand for his pizza will decrease as a result of a higher price.
