The following graph shows the U.S. market for steel. Note that in the absence of any trade, the market price for steel in the United States is $500 per tonne, and the equilibrium quantity is 100 million tonnes per month. Use the green area (triangle symbol) to show U.S. consumer surplus under free trade with China, and use the purple area (diamond symbol) to show U.S. producer surplus under free trade with China. 1000 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 900 Consumer Surplus 800 700 600 Producer Surplus 500 400 300 Free Trade Price 200 100 20 40 60 00 100 120 140 160 180 200 QUANTITY OF STEEL (Millions of tonnes per month) Use the previous graph to complete the first row of the following table by indicating the quantity of steel supplied by U.S. producers, demanded by U.S. consumers, and imported from China under free trade. Quantity Supplied by U.S. Quantity Demanded by U.S. Producers Consumers Quantity Imported from China (Millions of tonnes of steel per (Millions of tonnes of steel per (Millions of tonnes of steel per month) month) month) Free Trade Trade with Tariff PRICE (Dollars per tonne)


Extracted text: Suppose American steel manufacturers convince the U.S. government that Chinese firms are selling steel in the U.S. market at well below the cost of producing the steel, a practice known as dumping. In response to the accusations, the U.S. government puts a tariff of $100 per tonne on steel from China. The tariff increases the price of steel from $200 to s per tonne. Complete the second row of the previous table by indicating the quantity of steel supplied by U.S. producers, demanded by U.S. consumers, and imported from China in the presence of a $100-per-tonne tariff. On the following graph, use the black line (cross symbol) to indicate the domestic price of steel in the presence of a $100-per-tonne tariff. Then use the green area (triangle symbol) to shade the area that represents consumer surplus under the tariff, and use the purple area (diamond symbol) to shade the area that represents producer surplus under the tariff. Finally, use the grey rectangle (star symbols) to show the revenue that the U.S. government collects as a result of the tariff, and use the tan triangles (dash symbols) to show the deadweight loss (DWL) from the imposition of the tariff. 1000 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 900 Price with Tariff 800 700 600 Consumer Surplus 500 400 Producer Surplus 300 Free Trade Price 200 Tariff Revenue 100 20 40 60 100 120 140 160 180 200 DWL QUANTITY OF STEEL (Millions of tonnes per month) True or False: According to this model, restricting trade using tariffs harms consumers but helps domestic producers.
