Show graphically that for any tariff, there is an equivalent quota that would give the same result. What would be the difference, then, between the two types of trade barriers? Hint: It is not something you can see from the graph.
Use the graph below and the following information to answer the next question(s). The world price of soybeans is $5.00 per bushel, and the importing country is small enough not to affect the world price. Suppose the government puts a tariff of $1.00 per bushel on soybean imports. How much will the tariff reduce imports? 65 Os 10 million 60 70 80 million bushels O $ 60 million O$ 30 million 20 million bushels 40 million bushels 130 140 Q/millions bushels World price
A small country is considering imposing a tariff on imported wine at the rate of $5 per bottle. Economists have estimated the following based on this tariff amount: World price of wine (free trade): Domestic production (free trade): Domestic production (after tariff): Domestic consumption (free trade): Domestic consumption (after tariff): The imposition of the tariff on wine will cause the surplus of the domestic producers to by. Select one: O rise; $2.7 million O fall; $500,000 $20 per bottle 500,000 bottles 580,000 bottles 750,000 bottles 640,000 bottles Orise; $2.5 million O rise; $2.75 million

Recently the U.S. government filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) that the Spanish government was subsidizing exports of ripe olives, which are used as an ingredient in other products, such as olive oil. In the U.S., who benefits from the Spanish subsidy of ripe olives to the U.S.? U.S. government imposes a countervaliling duty (tariff) on imports of ripe olives, who benefits? O producrersof ripe olives; producers of olive oil O producers of olive oil; producers of ripe olives O producers of olive oil; producers of olive oil O producers of ripe olives; producers of ripe olives If the
The minister for labor of the Utopia (small country) is eager to encourage domestic production of bikes. A small bike industry exists, but only a few producers can survive foreign competition without government help. The country decided to help the local producers, the problem is the country has no idea what to do, some argues for 20% tariff and others thought 20% subsidy can gain same benefits to the country with less social cost. a. Show the following diagrammatically: The effects of the tariff on domestic bike output and consumption. The beneficial side effects of the tariff. The net gains or losses for the country. 4. All the same effects for the case of the production subsidy. 5. The differences in the effects of the two alternatives on the government’s budget. b. Can you describe a policy that captures the alleged benefits of worker training better than either the 20% tariff or the 20% subsidy?

While the world price of a hockey stick is$60, the price in this country (with the tariff) is $75.a. How did the quantity of imports change when the government imposed a tariff?b. How much does the government earn from the tariff?c. How does the value of consumer surplus change after the tariff is introduced?d. How does the value of producer surplus change after the tariff is introduced?e. What is the value of the deadweight loss from the tariff?f. What is the value of social surplus after the tariff?

E4 Home’s demand curve for wheat is D = 200 − 40P Its supply curve is S = 40 + 40P Derive and graph Home’s import demand schedule. What would the price of wheat be in the absence of trade? Now add Foreign, which has a demand curve D∗ = 160 − 40P and a supply curve S ∗ = 80 + 40P 1. Derive and graph Foreignâs export supply curve and find the price of wheat that would prevail in Foreign in the absence of trade. 2. Now allow Foreign and Home to trade with each other, at zero transportation cost. Find and graph the equilibrium under free trade. What is the world price? What is the volume of trade? Home imposes a specific tariff of 0.5 on wheat imports. 1. Determine and graph the effects of the tariff on the following: (1) the price of wheat in each country; (2) the quantity of wheat supplied and demanded in each country; (3) the volume of trade. 2. Determine the effect of the tariff on the welfare of each of the following groups: (1) Home import-competing producers; (2) Home…

Consider the market for sugar in the United States depicted in the figure to the right. Assume the world price of sugar is $0.04 per pound, and at that price the United States can buy as much sugar as it wants without causing the world price to rise. Now suppose a tariff imposed by the government completely eliminates trade. As a result of the tariff, consumers will be surplus, and producers will be off in terms of consumer off in terms of producer surplus. Use the traingle drawing tool to indicate the total loss of surplus for the United States as a result of the tariff by shading in domestic dead weight loss. Property label this shaded area. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Price of sugar (per pound) 0.36 0.32- 0.28- 0.24- 0.20 0.16 0.12- 0.08 0.04+ 0.00+ 0 Supply World Price Demand 4 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 Quantity of sugar (billion pounds per year) Odu
