play out." What was the effect of the Smoot-
Hawley tariffs on U.S. trade?
a) Both imports and exports rose by nearly about the same amount, the trade
balance remained about the same, and the total volume of trade increased.
b) Both imports and exports fell by nearly about the same amount, the trade
balance remained about the same, and the total volume of trade decreased.
c) Imports decreased, and the trade balance increased. The total volume of
trade was nearly unchanged.

International Trade - End of Chapter Problem
The United States is the fifth largest sugar consumer and the fifth largest sugar producer in the world. The U.S. sugar industry
has enjoyed trade protection since 1789 when Congress enacted the first tariff against foreign-produced sugar.
The accompanying graph depicts the supply and demand for sugar in the United States in 2019. The world price for sugar was
$0.12 per pound.
a. The United States enacts an import tariff of 6 cents per pound. In the accompanying graph, place the line labeled "World price
+ tarill" in the graph to reflect this tariff.

Trade. How does specialization and trade make individuals and countries wealthier?
Think about why countries benefit from foreign trade. Also consider a scenario where Country A is more
productive than Country B at producing all goods. Why is it still in Country A’s best interest to trade with
Country B?
