Explanation
Shifts in Demand and Supply for New Equilibrium
Steps:
- Equilibrium changes when demand or supply curves shift due to external factors.
- For a normal good, rising income shifts demand right, increasing equilibrium price and quantity.
- Falling complement price also shifts demand right, raising both price and quantity.
- Rising supply shifts supply right, lowering price but raising quantity; combined shifts in option C create a new equilibrium.
Why C is correct:
- Per the supply-demand model, increased income and lower complement prices shift demand right, while higher supply shifts supply right, moving to a new intersection point.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Both leftward shifts lower quantity and raise price, not matching a typical diagram's new equilibrium.
- B: Both rightward shifts raise quantity but ambiguously affect price, failing to fit specific diagram outcomes.
- D: Income fall shifts demand left (lowering price/quantity); supply fall shifts left (raising price/lowering quantity), netting unclear shifts unlike the diagram.
Final answer: C
