When an imported good has restrictions are placed on it that limits the amount that can be imported and as a result the price of the good increases, the demand curve for that good will
 
  A) shift rightward.
  B) shift leftward.
  C) become steeper.
  D) be unaffected.

Question 2

Figure 9.6 shows an individual's demand curve for time per month spent telecommunicating while driving (talking on the car phone.) A car phone is useless except for talking with somebody who is not in the car.
 
  If calls are priced at ten cents per minute, what is the consumer surplus derived from talking? What is the most this person would pay for the car phone? Explain.

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The consumer surplus from talking on the car phone is (2.90  20)/2 = 29. This person would pay up to 29 per month to have the phone. Having the phone is worth 29 per month to this person because that is the value this person places on calls from the car phone over and above what is paid just for the calls. The phone has no other value to the person except to make the calls. If the phone cost more than 29 per month this person would feel better off without the phone.
