5. Demand is given by QD = 6000 - 50P. Domestic supply is QS = 25P. Foreign producers can supply any quantity at a price of $40. A. If foreign producers can sell in the domestic market, what is the equilibrium price? What is the equilibrium quantity? How much is sold by domestic and foreign producers, respectively? B. Under domestic government pressure, foreign producers voluntarily agree to restrict their goods. What will happen to the price and quantity? What will happen to the amount that domestic producers supply? What will happen to revenues of domestic and foreign producers?

1. The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S. consumers is given by the demand curve Q = 250 – 10P, where Q is quantity (in millions of pounds) and P is the market price per pound of coffee. World producers can harvest and ship coffee to U.S. distributors at a constant marginal (= average) cost of $8 per pound. U.S. distributors can in turn distribute coffee for a constant $2 per pound. The U.S. coffee market is competitive. Congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound. a. If there is no tariff, how much do consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded? b. If the tariff is imposed, how much will consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded? c. Calculate the lost consumer surplus. d. Calculate the tax revenue collected by the government. e. Does the tariff result in a net gain or a net loss to society as a whole?

Fantaa is the only soft drinks manufacturer in Country V. Weekly, Fantaa is able to produce 6.34 million cans of soft drinks. Residents in Country V loves Fantaa's soft drinks and consume all 6.34 million cans of soft drinks. The market-clearing price is $0.89 per can. Answer the following questions: a. When the domestic supply and demand for soft drinks in Country V are equal, the market is? E suppliers, U for Unable to make a conclusion or P for totally impossible and only theoretical. Type E for in Equilibrium, M for needing More b. Health experts in Country V found that it is extremely unhealthy to consume a large number of soft drinks. They decided to lobby and pressure the government to implement a price floor of $1.33 per can of soft drink. If the price floor is implemented, it is expected that the quantity demanded for Fantaa's soft drinks will drop to 4.95 million cans. It is given that the opportunity cost of producing the last can of soft drink at 4.95 million cans is $0.55…

Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linearschedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and theprice elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Country Cimposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries

Suppose that the world price of oil is $70 per barrel and that the United States can buy all the oil it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for oil in the United States are as follows: U.S. Quantity Demanded U.S. Quantity Supplied 26 14 24 16 22 18 20 20 18 22 Price ($ per Barrel) 55 60 65 70 75 Now suppose that the United States allows no oil imports. The equilibrium price in the United states is $ per barrel and the equilibrium quantity is million barrels. If the United States imposed a price ceiling of $55 per barrel on the oil market and prohibited imports, there would be an If the price ceiling is below $70, quantity supplied and quantity demanded differ. will determine how much oil is purchased. of million barrels of oil.
