Suppose that the domestic demand and supply for hats in a small open economy are given by:

Q = 80 - 2P              (demand)

Q = 20 + 2P             (supply)

Where Q denotes quantity and P denotes price.

After the quota of 18 units is imposed, how has domestic welfare been affected?  (Assume all quota rents go to domestic producers and calculate a value for the change in welfare between the free trade outcome and the quota outcome).  . You do not need to show a graph for this part.
