Answer:

$125 ( B )

Explanation:

The net welfare loss assuming linear supply and demand curves would be calculated as

= (reduction in imports * increase in prices) / 2

= (50 * $5) / 2

= $250 / 2 = $125

The import quotas are trade restrictions that tends to limit the number or percentage of goods and service that can be imported into a country by importers. this trade restrictions are usually made in order to encourage local manufacturers producing similar goods that are been imported
