price, quantity demanded, and domestic quantity supplied with this quota.

million tires
How many tires will be supplied domestically?

Now suppose instead that the U.S. government imposes a quota with the goal of reducing the number
of tires imported by 50% (half of the value in part a).
d. Using the graph below, indicate the new supply with the quota imposed as well as the new market
equilibrium and the domestic quantity supplied (Qs) under the new quota.
Instructions: First, drag the "S + Quota" line to the appropriate location. Then use the tools provided

quantity supplied with this quota.
