I seriously don't understand what anything aside from the box being the tariff is. And even that box was through rote learning.
Help?

• ABCD = govt tariff revenue
• 0P = imported goods with no tariff applied. Domestic consumer demand is 0Q1 and domestic producer supply is 0Q. Quantity imported before tariff is from Q to Q1
• If tariff of P to P1 is imposed, demand will contract to 0Q3, domestic supply will expand to 0Q2, and imports will fall to Q2-Q3

Imports before tariff = Q-Q1 // This is because there is no tax on importing goods (imports before tariff is larger than after tariff)
Imports after tariff = Q2-Q3 // So this is a reduction in imports, since people have to pay more to import the good

Did this help?
