. The government announces a new subsidy for biofuels made from corn: Rightward shift of supply Correct.
why?
why they are both correct?

government imposed subsidy on biofuels made from corn. The
rightward shift of the demand curve happens because government
subsidy on corn leads to a decrease in the price paid by the

D to D1, due to government subsidy on the biofuels made from corn
shown in the below graph:

government imposed subsidy on biofuels made from corn. The
rightward shift of the supply curve happens because government
subsidy on corn leads to an increase in the production of corn and
a decrease in the price of the biofuels made from corn.
The rightward shift of the supply curve or increase in supply from
