Suppose the Maine Lobsters can be sold only in the United States. The U.S. demand schedule Maine lobsters is as follows:



Price of Lobster ($/pound) Quantity Demanded (pounds)
25 200
20 400

Price of Lobster ($/pound) Quantity Demanded (pounds)
25 100
20 300
15 500
10 700
5 900

(B) What is the demand schedule for Maine lobsters now that French consumers can also buy them?
