Answer to Question 1

The success of the strategy will depend on the relationship between changes in the cost of production and changes in the buyer's valuation. If the increase in the cost of production is lower compared to the increase in the buyer's valuation, the strategy will be profitable. However, if the increase in the buyer's valuation of the improved good is lower than the increase in the cost of production then the strategy will prove to be unprofitable.

Answer to Question 2
