5. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is Pw-$250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer's surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producers' surplus (PS).

Now suppose the Kenyan government decides to impose a tariff of $50 on each imported ton of wheat. After the tariff, the price Kenyan consumers pay for a ton of wheat is , and Kenya will import tons of wheat.
