Two months later, after the tariff was in effect, U.S. production increased to 7.9 million metric tons. The volume of imported steel fell to about 1.7 million metric tons, but the price of the imported steel rose to about $448 per metric ton. The supply and demand diagram below shows this situation (along with an estimated no-trade domestic equilibrium at a price of $625 per metric ton and a quantity of 8.9 million metric tons).
Using the letters, determine which areas on the graph represent each of the following:a. The increase in producer surplus gained by U.S. steel producers as a result of the tariffb. The loss in consumer surplus…

Tricky question. Consider the diagram below, depicting the United States Market for Airplanes (hundreds of jets on the horizontal axis, and millions of dollars on the vertical axis). Suppose around the world, a 2 (million dollar) tariff is placed on United States Airplanes. What will exports of planes now be (round to one significant digit).
