Suppose the U.S. government has just hired you to analyze the following scenario. Assume the U.S. agricultural industry grows concerned about the amount of fresh fruit imports to the United States, a practice that harms domestic producers. Industry experts claim that implementing a tariff on imports would reduce the size of the trade deficit. Complete the following exercise in order to help you analyze this claim. The following graph shows the demand and supply of U.S. dollars in a model of the foreign-currency exchange market. Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both to show what would happen if the government decided to implement the tariff.
