mikus Tariff is imposed on importers not foreign producers. hence, a tariff will result in higher price of imports which will cause a shift in supply curve from S1 to S0. Also, since the price of imports is now higher, quantity of imports will decrease which will cause a shift in demand curve from D1 to D0. Thoughts?
