Answer #1

a) Under the tariff, quantity consumed = 140 thousand, quantity produced = 60 thousand so imports = 140-60 = 80 thousand

b) At P = 0.40

Quantity bought = 140 thousand

Quantity sold = 60000

Imports = 140-60 = 80 thousand

c) DWL under the tariff = 0.10*20000 = 2 thousand

DWL under the higher price = 0
