1. The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S. consumers is given by the demand curve Q = 250 – 10P, where Q is quantity (in millions of pounds) and P is the market price per pound of coffee. World producers can harvest and ship coffee to U.S. distributors at a constant marginal (= average) cost of $8 per pound. U.S. distributors can in turn distribute coffee for a constant $2 per pound. The U.S. coffee market is competitive. Congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound. a. If there is no tariff, how much do consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded? b. If the tariff is imposed, how much will consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded? c. Calculate the lost consumer surplus. d. Calculate the tax revenue collected by the government. e. Does the tariff result in a net gain or a net loss to society as a whole?

In 1932, U.S. manufacturers, which used to enjoy steady relationships with their foreign distributors and export nearly 60% of their output, realized that their exports had fallen to only 20% of total output. Which of the following is the most likely reason for this decrease in exports? O The low quality of U.S. products O war between the United States and Canada O Retaliatory tariffs by trading partners The signing of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1947 resulted in the adoption of several new trade policies.
