Suppose that Australia imposes a tariff on imported beef. If the increase in producer surplus is $100 million, the increase in tariff revenue is $200 million, and the reduction in consumer surplus is $500 million, the deadweight loss of the tariff is $300 million.a) trueb) false

Respuesta :

Answer: False

Explanation:

A tariff is a tax that is imposed by the government of a particular country in order to curtail the number of imported goods brought into the country.

Based on the above scenario, the reduction in consumer surplus is not $500 million but rather $600 million which is the addition of $100 million, $200 million and $300 million.

Therefore the question is false.
