The world price of a kilo of rice is $10. Mexico imposes a $2-per-kilo tariff on rice. Mexico is a price-taker in the rice market. As a result of the tariff, Mexican consumers of rice become worse off and Mexican producers of rice become worse off. Mexican consumers of rice become worse off and Mexican producers of rice become better off. Mexican consumers of rice become better off and Mexican producers of rice become worse off. Mexican consumers of rice become better off and Mexican producers of rice become better off.arrow_forward
