consumers consumption and so does consumer surplus.
a,b,c,=20.000x400/2 = 4.000.000
d=20.000x400
e= 10.000x400/2
government revenue= 20.000x400= 8.000.000
producer surplus area(a+b) a= 400x100.000=40.000.000
( increases output by 20.000) b= 400x20.000/2=4.000.000
44.000.000
3. Calculate the net impact on welfare as a result of formation of the customs union.
* under FT. Pus=$2 – Impact Low cost Pruducer
** Tariff= 100%
Price US= $4 Belgium continues importing from US

We are importing (D>s)the amount gj=m with free trade, consumers gain $(a+b+c+d+e+j), producer lose $ (a+e) ->Net gain. (b+c+D+J). Free trade is better than autarky.
