Answer:. A. a decrease in the consumer surplus of Japanese consumers.

Explanation:

When an import quota is imposed, it has the effect of limiting the imports of a commodity into an economy.

The effect of this is that supply drops as goods are no longer coming in from outside.

Because of this drop in supply, there is a increase in price.

This increase will reduce the Consumer surplus.

How?

Consumer Surplus is defined as the price that consumers pay vs the price they are willing to pay.

Because there was more supply, they were paying a price less than what they were willing to pay. As this supply has now dropped, the price they are paying is now closed to the price they are willing to pay.

Please do react or comment if you need clarification. Thank you.

When sales double, a pizza restaurant finds its costs for sauce, dough and electricity increase, because these are __________.
Nastasia [14]

The costs of sauce, dough and electricity increase, because these are variable costs.

Variable costs are costs that change with the level of output. When output increases, variable costs increases and when output declines, variable cost decreases. When the demand for pizza increases, variable input would increase and this would increase variable costs.

On the other hand, fixed costs are costs that do not variable with the level of output.
