Explanation
Supply Shift Left and Demand Shift Right
Steps:
- Travel restrictions to neighboring countries increase demand for local Singapore golf courses, shifting demand curve right.
- Closure of local courses decreases supply, shifting supply curve left.
- Rightward demand shift raises equilibrium price and quantity; leftward supply shift also raises price but lowers quantity.
- Combined shifts result in higher equilibrium price and higher quantity of memberships.
Why B is correct:
- Point B shows new equilibrium with increased price and quantity, matching supply-demand model where simultaneous right demand and left supply shifts unambiguously increase both.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Shows only demand increase (higher quantity, ambiguous price), ignoring supply decrease.
- C: Shows only supply decrease (higher price, lower quantity), ignoring demand increase.
- D: Shows no change or opposite shifts, not reflecting the described events.
Final answer: B
Topic: The interaction of demand and supply
