Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Imposition of a tariff increases the price of the good in the importing country and makes sellers better off. Domestic sellers enjoy a greater surplus. Consumers have to pay a higher price for the imported good, so they are made worse off. The government earns revenue equal to the product of the tariff rate and the number of units of the good imported. Overall, due to the imposition of the tariff there is a fall in the total surplus compared to the pre-tariff situation. The loss in total surplus is referred to as the deadweight loss of the tariff.
