Explanation
Tariff Removal Reduces Domestic Output Steps:
- Identify pre-tariff world price line (likely horizontal at Pw).
- Note pre-removal (with tariff) domestic production at intersection of supply curve and tariff price (higher output, e.g., point W).
- After removal, price falls to world level, shifting production along supply curve to lower output (e.g., point V).
- Change in domestic production is segment VW (reduction from higher to lower quantity).
Why A is correct:
- Tariff removal lowers producer price to world level, decreasing quantity supplied per supply curve law (upward-sloping supply means lower price yields less output).
Why the others are wrong:
- B: XV likely measures import change, not domestic production.
- C: XY likely measures consumption increase, irrelevant to production.
- D: ZY likely measures deadweight loss or another effect, not output reduction.
Final answer: A
