4. Assume that supply for replacement mobile phone batteries in the Australian domestic market is given by the inverse-supply expression P = 9+0.000010s, while inverse demand is P = 19 -0.00001QD. The world price for batteries is $10. (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for replacement mo- bile phone batteries if Australia does not engage in any international trade. Compute the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the total surplus in the market. (b) Now assume that Australia trades on the world market for batteries, exporting or importing batteries depending on the relation between the world and domestic prices. Find the price at which batteries will be sold in Australia, the quantity purchased, the quantity produced, and the quantity of imports or exports. Compute the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the total surplus in the market, as well as the gains from trade relative to part (a). (c) The Australian government imposes a $2 tariff on the…
2. Suppose cheap mountain bikes are made in both the US and the Philippines. The supply and demand for each market are given by: US Qd = 9110 – P Qs = 100P – 2000 Philippines Qа 3D 100— 0.5P Q 3 Р- 20 Find the autarky equilibrium price and quantity sold in each country. b. Now suppose the two countries engage in international trade with each other. Find the combined supply and demand equations. Now find the trade price and quantity (world total quantity and imports/exports). Comment on the trade price and the relative size of the two markets. d. а. с. In general, which country will gain relatively more by engaging in international trade. Explain briefly.
2. 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. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Sudan is open to free trade in the world market for maize. Because of Sudan's small size, the demand for and supply of maize in Sudan do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic maize market in Sudan. The world price of maize is Pw = $350 per ton. 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). 710 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 670 CS 630 590 550 PS 510 470 430 390 P.

Now suppose the Sudanese government decides to impose a tariff of $40 on each imported ton of maize. After the tariff, the price Sudanese consumers pay for a…
The graph to the right shows the supply and demand for Japanese-made automobiles in the United States. Assume that Japanese-made and U.S.-made automobiles are of the same quality and are considered to be perfect substitutes. Suppose that the U.S. government imposes a tariff on Japanese-made automobiles. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, show the effect on the market for Japanese-made automobiles. Properly label your line. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the new equilibrium price and quantity. Label it 'E₂'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. As a result of the tariff, the price of Japanese-made cars rises and the quantity falls. In the market for American-made cars, there will be and thus the price of American-made cars will equilibrium quantity will and the Price per Automobile ($) S Japanese-made Automobiles (thousands)

3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is PWPW = $250 per tonne. 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). If Kenya allows international trade in the market for wheat, it will import tonnes of wheat. Now suppose the Kenyan government decides to impose a tariff of $60 on each imported tonne of wheat. After the tariff, the price Kenyan consumers pay for a tonne of wheat is , and Kenya will import tonnes of wheat. Show the effects of the…
