O Levels Economics (2281)•2281/12/M/J/24
Question 6 from 2281/12/M/J/24

Explanation

Promotional pricing shifts supply for petrol and demand for goods

Steps:

  • Lower petrol price below competitors increases quantity supplied at that price, shifting petrol supply curve right.
  • More customers buy petrol and enter store, boosting demand for groceries, shifting goods demand curve right.
  • Petrol diagram shows lower equilibrium price and higher quantity.
  • Goods diagram shows higher equilibrium price and quantity, increasing store revenue.

Why D is correct:

  • Rightward supply shift for petrol follows supply-demand equilibrium, lowering price to attract buyers; rightward demand shift for goods reflects cross-product complementarity, raising sales.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Left shifts reduce quantities for both, contradicting attraction strategy.
  • B: Demand left for goods decreases store sales, opposite of success.
  • C: Supply left raises petrol price, deterring customers.
