Answer 1

First create new columns with shift by range and then set -1 :

N = 3
for x in range(1, N + 1):
    #python 3.6+ 
    df[f'Price{x}'] = df['Price'].shift(x)
    #python bellow
    #df['Price{}'.format(x)] = df['Price'].shift(x)

df.iloc[:N, -N:] = -1
print (df)
     Date  Price  Price1  Price2  Price3
0  1-1-18     10    -1.0    -1.0    -1.0
1  2-1-18     20    -1.0    -1.0    -1.0
2  3-1-18     25    -1.0    -1.0    -1.0
3  4-1-18     30    25.0    20.0    10.0
4  5-1-18     45    30.0    25.0    20.0
5  6-1-18     50    45.0    30.0    25.0
6  7-1-18     60    50.0    45.0    30.0
