Consider a small country where the domestic market for sandals is described by the following demand and supply equations, respectively: P = 100 – (1/3)Q and P = 20 + (1/2)Q where P represents the price of a pair of sandals and Q represents the quantity of sandals. The world price for a pair of sandals is $60. Therefore the gains from trade would be $1,350 $1,000 $887.50 $1,225

The demand for cameras in a certain country is given by D = 8000 - 30P, where P is the price of a camera. Supply by domestic camera producers is S 4000 + 10P. Suppose that world price of a camera is $150. If this country decides to trade, which of the following is true? 3000 cameras will be exported Domestic production of cameras will decrease by 500 Domestic production of cameras will increase by 500 2000 cameras will be imported
Consider that the current world price for copper ore is $5.20 per pound. Suppose the domestic market for copper ore in Chile is described by the following demand and supply equations, respectively: P = 8.80 -0.015Q and P = 0.8 +0.025Q, where P is the price per pound, measured in dollars, and Q is the quantity measured in thousands of pounds per month. Similarly, suppose that the domestic market for copper ore in Japan is described by the following demand and supply equations: P = 6.80 -0.02Q and P = 0.8 +0.04Q, where P is the price per pound, measured in dollars, and Q is the quantity measured in thousands of pounds per month. (Question 7 of 8) After receiving requests from lobbyists and domestic producers, the government of the importing country imposes a tariff of $0.30 in the market for copper ore. As a result of the government's policy, what is the change in the government's revenue in the importing country? (report your answer at 2 decimal places)
The demand for cars in a certain country is given by: ? = 15,000 − 0.3?, where P is the price of a car. Supply by domestic car producers is: ? = 5,000 + 0.2?.

Assume that the weekly domestic demand for petroleum is represented by the equation: P= -2.25Q + 600. And, the weekly domestic supply of petroleum is represented by the equation: P= 1.5Q + 25. Assume also, that the world price of petroleum is $200. What is the domestic autarky price and quantity when this economy is closed to trade? What would be the total quantity of petroleum demanded when the economy is open to international trade? What would be the volume of imports when the economy is open to trade? What is the import dependency ratio in this economy when it is open for international trade in petroleum?
