Suppose that the world price for a good is 120 and the domestic demand-and-supply curves are given by the following equations:

                                                          Demand: P = 200 – 8Q

Supply: P = 20 + 10Q

      a. How much is domestic consumption?

      b. How much is domestic production?

      c. Calculate the values of consumer and producer surplus.

      d. If a tariff of 30% is imposed, how much do consumption and domestic production change?

      e. What is the change in consumer and producer surplus?

      f. How much revenue does the government earn from the tariff?

      g. What is the net national cost of the tariff?
