- 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 = 11.5 – Q Supply: P = 5.5 + Q Price is in 10 Yuan (¥) per bushel of soybeans and the units for Quantity are 100 million bushels per year. This is to make graphing simpler. This does NOT mean that the price is 10 and quantity is 100. Rather it means that if the price was 40¥ and the quantity was 7,500,000,000 bushels, this would plot as 4 and 7.5 respectively. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel (this would graph as a horizontal line at 6.5). 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: Domestic Demand curve (D), Domestic Supply curve (S), the World Price (WP), and the Price with tariffs (PT), along with the quantities imported both with and without the tariff.

- Quotas may be set on worldwide imports or on imports from a specific country.True or FalseCanada has not allowed for the bulk exportation of water. The current price for water for Canadian consumers is $40 per tonne (typically delivered via an underground pipe to your house/business!) and Canadians consume 3 M Tonnes/yr. Unfortunately, climate change has resulted in droughts in California and other Southern states. To help meet this need and make a profit of course, Canada has decided to allow international trade in water. The North America (or world) price for water is currently $60/tonne. (Hint the supply lines does not move..) Explain in words a. what will happen to production (supply) and Canadian demand for water b. the effect on the producer and consumer surplus C.
