Before the quota, the domestic supply is Q^d = 700 − 2P and foreign supply is Q^SF = 150 + 3P, leading to a total supply of Q^T = 850 + P. With the quota of 100, the domestic supply is limited to 600 units (700 − 2(100)), and the remaining demand of 450 units (100 + 4(100) + 150) is met by foreign supply. Therefore, the domestic producers will supply 600 units of sugar after the quota is imposed.
