- 2. The impact of a tariff Consider a hypothetical example of trade in aluminum between the United States and China. For simplicity, assume that China is the only source of U.S. aluminum imports. The following graph shows the U.S. market for aluminum. Note that in the absence of any trade, the market price for aluminum in the United States is $500 per tonne, and the equilibrium quantity is 250 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 Producer Surplus 600 500 400 Free Trade Price 300 200 100 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 50 100 150 QUANTITY OF ALUMINUM (Millions of tonnes per month) PRICE (Dollars per tonne)arrow_forward▪Figure: The Home and World Markets ▪ The supplied graph shows the case for a tariff imposed by a large country.
