If the u. s. government implements a tariff on chinese tire imports, the price of chinese-made tires will the quantity demanded will and consumer surplus will

The correct answers are the following:

1. A tariff is a trade barrier implemented by countries that follow a protectionist international trade approach. It is a tax charged on imported products and it  increases the per-unit cost of introducing and commercializing those goods in a certain country and, in turn, the tariff increases the market price of each unit.

2. The demand function represents the quantity of a certain good or service that consumers are willing to purchase in the market at different price levels. The law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded (ceteris paribus, hence, given that the rest remains equal). Therefore, when the price charged for the imported products (due to the tariff) increases, the amount that consumers are willing to purchase decreases.

3. The consumer surplus is the profit earned by consumers when purchasing and consuming a certain good of service. It is calculated as the difference between the level of satisfaction gained by the individual from its consumption and the price paid for it. If the price increases (and satisfaction remains equal), then the consumer surplus decreases.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
