If the demand for a good increases, and (simultaneously) the supply of the good also increases:
Equilibrium price must decrease, but the effect on equilibrium quantity is uncertain
There must be an increase in both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity
Equilibrium quantity must decrease, but the effect on equilibrium price is uncertain
Equilibrium quantity must increase, but the effect on equilibrium price is uncertain
Solution
If the demand for a good increases, and (simultaneously) the supply of the good also increases:
Answer
Equilibrium quantity must increase, but the effect on equilibrium price is uncertain.
When supply and demand both increases, we know that the equilibrium quantity will definitely increase. However, because we do not know how much supply and demand will rise respectively, we cannot tell whether the price of the good will increase, decrease, or stay the same.
