When both the supply of and demand for tennis rackets shift, what can we definitively say about the equilibrium price?

When both supply and demand for a product, such as tennis rackets, shift simultaneously, the overall impact on equilibrium price cannot be definitively determined without knowing the magnitude and direction of each shift.

Demand and supply shifts can occur for various reasons. If demand increases (shifts to the right) while supply decreases (shifts to the left), the equilibrium price will rise due to higher competition among buyers for a limited quantity of products. Conversely, if demand decreases while supply increases, the equilibrium price would fall because there would be more rackets available than buyers willing to purchase them at current prices.

Given that both factors impact the equilibrium at the same time, without specific information about the shifts' magnitudes or directions, we cannot assert confidently that the equilibrium price will increase or decrease. Thus, the answer reflects that the changes in equilibrium price remain indeterminate.

The correct conclusion is that the changes in equilibrium price cannot be definitively established without further information about the nature and size of the shifts in supply and demand.
