The demand for silk cloth in the United States is characterized by the equation
P = 7 - Q/1000,
where Q is yards of silk cloth. U.S. producers of silk will supply silk to the U.S. market based on the equation
P = 1 + Q/200.
The rest of the world will sell as much silk as U.S. consumers will purchase for a price of $3 (Hint: the supply curve for the rest of the world is flat at $3). Answer the following questions. Each part is worth one point. If there is free trade between the U.S. and the rest of the world,
a.What will be the market price of silk in the United States?
b.How much silk will American consumers purchase?
c.How much silk will American producers sell?

l.How does American producer surplus change with the introduction of the tariff?
m.What area on the graph signifies a deadweight loss to consumers?
n.What area on the graph shows the revenue from the tariff?
o.Consider the costs of the new American producers who produce silk only after the tariff is inplace. What area on the graph shows the amount by which their total costs are higher than thetotal revenue that foreign producers would receive to produce that same silk?
Say the tariff was raised to $5 per yard of silk.
