Statement 1 is general. i.e. , they have used product instead of coffee powder. Hence 1 is not implicit.

Well I don't understand why I is not implicit as it clearly says 'If your product is not good, your spend more on advertisement. ' This can be deducted from the given statement. Can anyone explain this?

The Y product is implied to be less superior as the company x was better in taste, however company why advertised more than company x implying that when a product is not so good in quality, (company y) , you spend more on advertising no?
