Question
Please correct answer and don't use hand rating
The following graph shows the domestic market for oil in the United States, where Sp is the domestic supply curve, and DD is the domestic demand
curve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the world
price of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of SD+w, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreign
producers together offer domestic consumers. In this case, the free-trade equilibrium (black plus) occurs at a price of $240 per barrel of oil and a
quantity of 9 million barrels. At this price, the United States imports 6 million barrels of oil.
Suppose the U.S. government imposes a $60-per-barrel tariff on oil 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 grey
point (star symbol) to indicate the new market equilibrium price and quantity as a result of the tariff.
