Answer to Question 1

False. The effect of a price change also depends on revenue changes.

Answer to Question 2

False. Consumers who are more sensitive to the price increase will reduce their purchase of the good by a greater extent than those who are not price sensitive. As a result, they incur a smaller loss of consumer surplus.
