True/False
In the absence of international trade, assume that the equilibrium price and quantity of motorcycles in Canada is $14,000 and 10 units respectively. Assuming that Canada is a small country that is unable to affect the world price of motorcycles, suppose its market is opened to international trade. As a result, the price of motorcycles falls to $12,000 and the total quantity demanded rises to 14 units; out of this total, 6 units are produced in Canada while 8 units are imported. Now assume that the Canadian government levies an import tariff of $1,000 on motorcycles. With the tariff, 8 units are produced in Canada and quantity demanded is 12 units.
-Refer to Exhibit 4.2.The tariff leads to a deadweight welfare loss for Canada totaling $1,000.
