Answer: The main purpose of most tariffs and quotas is to reduce the foreign competition that domestic firms face.

Explanation: A tariff is a tax on imports and a quota is the quantity imported that is allowed. By putting a tax and quantity limit on imports, the United States is hoping to make more room for domestic products to be bought and sold. When items are imported from other countries, even with the tax they are usually cheaper than making them in house. By imposing the tax, they are trying to offset the cheap labor and make the items in the domestic country have a fighting chance. This is also said about quantity limit, if there wasn't a quantity on what may be imported, there would be too few firms able to compete.

Answer:

The percentage change in nominal GDP from 2013 to 2014 was 4.29%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was 1.48%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was higher than the percentage change in real GDP from 2011 to 2012. FALSE

Explanation:

In order to calculate this we just have to calculate the percentages with a rule of thirds:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}$

To calculate the first one we use the nominal GDP which is the GDP with the current market value:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{16,663.2}{100}= \frac{17,348.1 }{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(17,348.1}{16,663.2} \\x=4.29%$

To calculate the change in real GDP we use the values adapted to a pre-agreed monetary value, in this case the dollar at 2009:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{15,354.6}{100}= \frac{15,583.3}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,583.3}{15,354.6} \\x=1.48%$

To calculate the 2011 to 2012 we insert the values:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{ 15,020.6}{100}= \frac{15,354.6}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,354.6}{ 15,020.6} \\x=2.22%$

So with this we know that it is wasn´t higher the percentage change from 2012-2013, than that of 2011-2012
