Answer to Question 1

Tariffs reduce domestic consumption and increase domestic production. This means that some consumers that value this good more than its cost are not able to purchase it, which reduces consumer surplus without benefitting anyone. Likewise, domestic producers increase their production, but their costs are higher than world costs. Thus that additional cost of production does not benefit the producers; it is simply a waste of resources.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
