Use the following information to work.Suppose that in response to huge job losses in the U.S. textile industry, Congress imposes a 100 percent tariff on imports of textiles from China. Explain how the tariff on textiles will change the price that U.S. buyers pay for textiles, the quantity of textiles imported, and the quantity of textiles produced in the United States.
The following graph shows the US domestic market for jackets. in the absence of trade with China, the equilibrium price of a jacket is _____. At this price, both of domestic quantity demand, and the domestic quantity supplied equal ______ million jackets. suppose that the trade between the United States and China is open and that the United States initially imposes no tariffs are quarters and jackets imported from China. Assume that China has a comparative advantage in producing jackets and changes the world price of three dollars per jacket. down at the world price of three dollars per jacket, the quantity of jackets demanded by US buyers is ______ million jackets, the quantity of jacket supplied by US manufactures is_______ million jackets, and the quantity of jackets imported from China is _______ milllion jackets. Suppose now that the United States Pl. is a quarter on imports of jackets from China, which limits imports in Chinese jacket to 10 million (hint, original domestic supply curve, represents domestic production only). Under the quota, the price of jackets is ______ , the quantity supplied by U.S. producers is ____ million jackets, and the quantity demanded by U.S. consumers is ______ million jackets. compared to conditions under free trade, US manufactures sell (more, fewer) jackets and recieve ( a lower, the same, a higher) price after the impostion of the jacket quota, while U.S. consumers by (more, fewer) jackets and pay (the same, a higher, a lower) price after the imposition of jacket quota. Supporters of the jacket quota over free trade argue that the trade restriction will save jobs in the United States. What are the potential pitfalls of such an argument check all that apply.a) China may retaliate imposing restrictions on their imports from the United States there by generating unemployment in the US export industries.b) consumers will likely divert large amounts of scarce resources toward lobbying for the removal of the quotac) trade restrictions, simply reshuffle jobs by increasing employment in the protected industries, reducing employment and other industriesd) the cost of domestic jacket consumers may outweigh the benefits of jobs saved in the jacket industry
