Question

In 2009, the U.S. government imposed a 35% tariff on tires imported from China. (The numbers and equations used here are simplified based on the results of a much more complicated model.) Demand is given by QD = 105 − 1.5P where QD is in millions of tires per year. Supply is QS = 1.5873P − 15.873. Assuming the effective tariff is $20 per tire, consumer surplus after the tariff is imposed will be $ _____. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
