Question

The United States taxes paper goods (paper towels, toilet paper, etc) at a flat rate per crate. This is

a. a dumping duty.

b. a quota.

c. an antidumping duty.

d. a tariff.

Answer 1

Here no where dumping is involved, because dumping is nothing but exporting a product to a foreign country at a very low cost than that of the domestic country is present over there so that you can take over the market share and in order to protect from that usually the important countries use anti dumping duty and here nothing is mentioned of dumping and therefore

(a,c) are wrong

quota is nothing but limiting the quantity output of of imports to a certain extent and here no particular quantity is given and therefore

(b) is wrong

tariff is nothing but and additional tax over the imported goods usually at a fixed flat rate and because your flat rate on paper goods are given it is an example of tariff

Therefore (d) is the answer to this question
