The following graph shows the domestic market for steel in the United States, where Sp is the domestic supply curve, and DD is the domesticdemand curve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence theworld price of steel. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of Sp+w, which shows the quantity of steel that both domesticand foreign producers together offer domestic consumers. In this case, the free-trade equilibrium (black plus) occurs at a price of $280 per ton ofsteel and a quantity of 8 million tons. At this price, the United States imports 6 million tons of steel.Suppose the U.S. government imposes a $100-per-ton tariff on steel imports.On the following graph, use the tan line (rectangle symbol) to draw the new total supply schedule including the tariff (SD+w+T). Then use the greypoint (star symbol) to indicate the new market equilibrium price and quantity as a result of the tariff.(?PRICE (Dollars per ton)5605204804404003603202802402001600Sp+WSp51 2 3 46 7 8 9 10QUANTITY OF STEEL (Millions of tons)$D+W+TEquilibrium Under TariffDomestic Revenue EffectTerms-of-Trade EffectDeadweight LossThe tarrif's revenue effect (the import tariff multiplied by the quantity of steel imported) can be broken into two components: PRICE (Dollars per ton)5605204804404003603202802402001600Sp+W+1DD2 3 45QUANTITY OF STEEL (Millions of tons)Domestic revenue effect• Terms-of-trade effectsoTrue6 7 8 9 10False$D+W+TEquilibrium Under TariffDomestic Revenue EffectThe tarrif's revenue effect (the import tariff multiplied by the quantity of steel imported) can be broken into two components:Terms-of-Trade EffectDeadweight LossOn the previous graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to indicate the domestic revenue effect of the tariff. Then use the purple rectangle(diamond symbols) to indicate the terms-of-trade effect.Now consider the effect of the tariff on welfare in the United States. On the previous graph, use the black triangles (plus symbols) to indicate thedeadweight loss caused by the tariff.True or False: National welfare in the United States increases as a result of the tariff.
