Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With the $0.75 per pound tariff on coffee imports, the price of coffee increases from P1 to P2, resulting in a decrease in quantity demanded from Qd1 to Qd2. Additionally, domestic producers are now willing to supply more coffee at the higher price, resulting in an increase in quantity supplied from Qs1 to Qs2. The difference between quantity demanded and quantity supplied (Qd2 - Qs2) represents the amount of coffee that is imported, which is 12 million pounds in this case.
