Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boycott reduces consumer demand for Nike soccer balls, leading to a decrease in the quantity of soccer balls Nike is able to sell at the current price, hence the quantity supplied will fall. Demand decreases, but the supply curve does not change; instead, there is a movement along the supply curve due to the change in quantity demanded.
