Suppose Zambia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Since Zambia is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply of soybeans in Zambia have no impact on the world price. The following graph shows the domestic market for soybeans in Zambia. The world price of a ton of soybeans is Pw = $250. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS).

Now suppose the Zambian government decides to impose a tariff of $40 on each imported ton of soybeans. Under the tariff, the price Zambian consumers pay for a ton of soybeans becomes S and Zambia will import tons of soybeans. Use the following graph to show the effects of the $40 tariff.

Recently, China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 115 – 1/15Q Supply: P = 55 + 1/15Q Where P is Yuan per bushel of soybeans and Q is 10 million bushels per year. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel. Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including the Domestic Demand curve, Domestic Supply curve, the World Price, and the Price with tariffs. 3. How many bushels of soybeans can the US export to China if there are no tariffs? How many bushels with the imposed tariff?

The following graph shows the market for TV sets in Venezuela. The grey line illustrates the world supply curve of TV sets. Suppose that Venezuela imposes a quota that limits imports to 300 TV sets. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the quota-adjusted supply curve on the following graph. (Hint: Make sure you use three points to plot the curve, which is parallel to the original supply curve, with the last point indicating the upper limit allowed by the graph.) Then, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the new equilibrium point.

The graph to the right shows the supply and demand for Japanese-made automobiles in the United States. Assume that Japanese-made and U.S.-made automobiles are of the same quality and are considered to be perfect substitutes. Suppose that the U.S. government imposes a tariff on Japanese-made automobiles. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, show the effect on the market for Japanese-made automobiles. Properly label your line. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the new equilibrium price and quantity. Label it 'E₂'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. As a result of the tariff, the price of Japanese-made cars rises and the quantity falls. In the market for American-made cars, there will be and thus the price of American-made cars will equilibrium quantity will and the Price per Automobile ($) S Japanese-made Automobiles (thousands)
I need help constructing the diagram in Excel. The major BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico substantially reduced the harvest of shrimp and other seafood in the Gulf, but had limited impact on the prices that U.S. consumers paid in 2010 (Emmeline Zhao, “Impact on Seafood Prices Is Limited,", Wall Street Journal, June 20, 2010). The reason was that the United States imports about 83% of its seafood and only 2% of domestic supplies come from the Gulf. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to illustrate what happened.

Consider the Colombian market for soybeans. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose Colombia's government currently does not allow international trade in soybeans. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of soybeans and the equilibrium quantity of soybeans in Colombia in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus in equilibrium. Based on the previous graph, total surplus in the absence of international trade is .

Suppose that the Colombian government changes its international trade policy to allow free trade in soybeans. The horizontal black line (PWPW) represents the world…
The following graph shows the market for wheat in the European Union (EU). The world price of wheat is $4.00 per bushel, so Sworld represents the world supply assuming that the EU cannot affect the world price of wheat. To support the agricultural sector, the EU guarantees a certain price for the farmers by imposing a variable levy of $4.00 per bushel to limit the import of wheat. On the graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the support price the farmers receive due to the variable $4.00 levy. Note: Select and drag the line segment from the palette to the graph. Then select a point on the line segment and drag it to its desired position.

No International Trade A producer willing to supply a set of contact lenses for $40 will therefore receive producer surplus of ($120 - $40 = $80) when they sell their product for $120. While we could figure this out for all producers and add up the results, there's an easier way using the graph.

The following graph shows the demand curve for uff, a useful commodity produced on the planet Hermes. The Hermetian currency is the yen. The graph input tool also shows how demand for uff is affected by changes in the average income of Hermetians, as well as the prices of tulg and snick, two other related goods available on the planet. Suppose that the price of a gram of uff decreased from 50 yen to 45 yen. This would cause a _______ (options: movement along, shift of) the demand curve and therefore an increase in _________ (options: the demand for uff, the quantity of uff demanded). Plug any value lower than the current number into the Average Income box. A decrease in average income causes a leftward _________ (options: movement along, shift of) the demand curve.
