Aluminum Industry in 1994 Case Solution
After reaching all time high in excess of $2,500 per short ton in 1988 and 1989, the prices of aluminum fell dramatically in the early 1990s as the former Soviet Union starts exporting much bigger amounts of metal. By the start of 1994, the cost has hit all time lows (in actual terms) and stands at $1,110.

Collectively, these enable a comprehensive supply and demand investigation that illuminates cost changes in this sector. A rewritten version of an earlier note.
