    Answer: Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    U. S firms sell electric fans = $25 each

    Before imposition of 30% tariff,

    Imported price of electric fans from China = $19 each

    Imported price of electric fans from Canada = $20 each

    All the three countries are producing identical electric fans.

    After imposition of 30% tariff,

    Imported price of electric fans from China = $24.7 each (tariff of $5.7)

    Imported price of electric fans from Canada = $26 each (tariff of $6)

    ∴ U. S will import fans from China because China has the lower price of electric fans as compared to United States and Canada after imposition of 30% tariff.
