Part F. If home country imposes a specific tariff of $15 per unit of good Y imported, what is the tariff revenue? Show your work.
Part G. Assume that instead of a specific tariff, an import quota will be used on good Y. What is the amount of the quota that will have identical effects (in terms of amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y) as the specific tariff of $15? Explain your reasoning.
Part H. Consider the use of import tariff vs. import quota in Home country that will result in the same amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y. If quota rents are given to Foreign country, which policy, i.e., import tariff vs. import quota, is preferable by Home country on the basis of its effect on social welfare? Explain your reasoning.
If the size of a tariff raises the price of an imported item $20 per unit which in turn reduces the quantity of imports by 10%, what would be the effect on the price of an imported item, if the Government imposed a 10% import quota, which requires imports to fall by 10%
Now, suppose that Home applies an import quota limiting the amount Foreign can sell to 2 units. The quota licenses are allocated to local producers. Calculate the consumer surplus and producer surplus with the quota
