This activity explores significant market events impacting equilibrium and price changes. From wheat droughts that devastate crops to consumer boycotts of redwood lumber, the dynamics of supply and demand are illustrated through various scenarios. Government interventions, such as payments to the cigar industry and tax reductions affecting digital camera sales, highlight the complex interactions in economics. Additionally, shifts in tofu and soybean prices, alongside new pesticide implications for apple production, further illustrate the continuous evolution within markets.
