Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

A quota rent can be defined as the economic rent that is typically being received by the owner of the imported goods subjected to quota.

The quota rent is the difference between the demand price and the supply price at the quota limit.
