u. s. distributors can in turn distribute coee for a constant $2 per pound. the u. s. coffee

market is competitive. congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound.

(a) if there is no tariff, how much do consumers pay for a pound of coffee? what is the

(b) if the tariff is imposed, how much will consumers pay for a pound of coffee? what is the

quantity demanded?

(c) calculate the lost consumer surplus.
