Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

What will be produced is directly determined by businesses. However, firms are aware that the way to succeed is to offer products that consumers find desirable. What businesses produce is determined by what they believe consumers want. How goods are produced is determined by firms that seek to reduce the costs of production. Since consumers are price conscious, they will buy lower-priced products (ceteris paribus). The consumers who have earned sufficient wealth and are willing to spend their wealth on these products are the individuals who will ultimately receive these products.
