Draw a supply and demand diagram for the purpose of demonstrating the welfare effects of a quota in a small country. Describe prices and trade before and after the imposition of the quota. Using areas on the diagram, calculate the total gains and/or losses from the imposition of a quota. Explain the impact on the various economic actors that are affected by the quota..
Explain the possible welfare impact of restoring the import tariff for surgical masks. Should the government impose an import quota instead? Explain your answer and use a graph to support your arguments
On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw the Kazakhstan's supply curve including the quota SK+Q. (Hint: Draw this as a
straight line even though this curve should be equivalent to the domestic supply curve below the world price.) Then use the grey line (star symbol) to
indicate the new price of grapes with a quota of 120,000 grapes.

The domestic cost of an import tariff is larger than the domestic cost of a comparable import quota. Import tariffs create deadweight loss, whereas import quotas do not create deadweight loss.
