If this quota is binding,which of the following may be a market consequence of a production quota on new cars in theUS market? Do not worry about the underlying facts; only whether the explanations makeeconomic sense given our model. (Select one or more) (a) The quantity supplied of new cars will rise to meet the quota.(b) The quantity supplied of new cars will fall to meet the quota.(c) The quantity supplied is unaffected by a binding quota.(d) The price of new cars will rise until there is no excess demand.(e) The price of new cars will fall until there is no excess demand.(f) Consumer surplus will increase as a result of the quota.(g) Consumer surplus will decrease as a result of the quota.(h) Consumer surplus will be unaffected by the…
