# Effects of a Quota on Domestic Prices

The following graph illustrates the domestic demand and supply of barley in Canada. The horizontal green line highlights the world price of $2 per bushel of barley. Canada primarily imports barley from the United States. It is assumed that the demand from any single country does not influence the world price of barley.

**Instructions:**
Use the graph to assist in answering the questions below. Changes made to the graph will not be graded.

**Note:** Once a value is entered in a white field, the graph and any related amounts in the grey fields will update accordingly.

## Graph Explanation

### Graph Input Tool
- **Price (Dollars per bushel):** \(2\)
- **Domestic Demand (Millions of bushels):** \(40\)
- **Domestic Supply (Millions of bushels):** \(10\)
- **Imports (Millions of bushels):** \(30\)

### Graph Details
- **X-axis (Quantity):** Represents millions of bushels of barley.
- **Y-axis (Price):** Represents the price in dollars per bushel.
- **Supply Curve (Orange Line):** Shows the domestic supply of barley.
- **Demand Curve (Blue Line):** Shows the domestic demand for barley.
- **World Price Line (Green Line):** Fixed at $2, indicating the world market price.
  
The intersection of the supply and demand curves indicates market equilibrium, while the horizontal world price line represents the point where imports fill the gap between domestic supply and demand.
