Due to loss of competitiveness brought on by appreciation of the exchange rate and the high production costs, U.S. government reduce the export (or limit the supply of domestic producers) by imposing an export quota of 20 billion units per year. What happens to U.S. price of semiconductors, the quantity of semiconductors bought by U.S. people, and the quantity of semiconductors exported? [hint: use equation to calculate the equilibrium]
