Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

A tariff raises the domestic price of the good the tariff is placed on. The higher price benefits domestic producers and the tariff revenue benefits the government, both at the expense of domestic consumers. A quota raises the domestic price of the good with the quota imposed on it. The higher price benefits domestic producers and the foreign producers who are allowed to sell the good at a higher price, both at the expense of the domestic consumer. With a tariff the domestic government does collect additional revenue; with an import quota it does not.
