Answer to Question 1

In this case the friend has assumed that demand is elastic and that a decrease in price would lead to an increase in total revenues. However, her suggestion is likely incorrect being that the exclusive nature of these gowns would mean that many of the existing customers would be willing to purchase the gowns even if the price rose dramatically. As such, the demand is more likely to be inelastic.

Answer to Question 2
