Assume Domestic producersLobby and get a Tariff of $3.00 imposed on Plywood. This will Increase the price from $5.00 to$8.00---”P2 w+ T”. Note the pricedoes not return to $10.00. Don’t want to be too greedy!

Because the Tariff caused a change In PRICE, then the Market will move Along its respective curves.
Quantity Supplied will increase from “B” to “F” (Law of Supply)
Quantity Demanded will decrease From “C” to “E” (Law of Demand)

Two things happen here:
(1) Imports DECREASE to 500(2) We lose areas of Consumer Surplus (The Black Boxes with (?))
What happens to those areas of CS isA BIG DEAL!!
The next slides tell that story.

This area (a triangle) is DEAD WEIGHT LOSSto SOCIETY as a result of the Tariff.
Scarce societal resources were used to producean additional 250 units of Plywood ONLY because of the imposition of the Tariff.
In other words, domestic resources were employedat a higher cost to produce a quantity of a good thatcould have been imported for a lower price.
OPPORTUNITY COST!

These 2 Areas (Squares) represent the area of Tariff Revenue to the Government.
If you take the tariff of $3.00 and multiply it buy the Amount of Imports (500) you will get $1,500.
