Answer to Question 1

a. P = 40. Q = 4,000. Of that, domestic producers supply 1,000 units, and foreign producers supply 3,000 units.
b. The quantity restriction will cause equilibrium price to rise and quantity to decrease. Domestic producers will sell more, and foreign producers will sell less. Revenues of domestic producers will rise. The effect on the revenues of foreign producers is unclear; if demand is inelastic, they may rise.

Answer to Question 2

D

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
