1. Given below are two groups' (consumers, c, and a special interest group, i) true demands concerning a tariff on snack foods. Demand against (consumers): wtp($) = 80 + 2t Demand for (special interest): wtp($) = 50 - t Where t is the tariff rate. a. Graph the demand curves and explain how much tariff there will be if there were no free riding and all preferences were fully revealed. b. Now assume that "free riding" plagues the consumer group so that their revealed willingness to pay is given by: wtp($) = 30 + t. What are some causes of the "free riding"? Why is this not likely to happen to the producer group? c. Now what will be the equilibrium tariff rate? Graph this scenario in the same graph. d. Relate the outcome to a partial equilibrium tariff graph.

Problem 1 Refreshing Refreshing Trade Basics - Prices Consider the market for computers in two countries, Uruguay and Indonesia. Let's assume both have perfectly competitive domestic computer markets. In autarky (no trade), the equilibrium price of computers in Uruguay is $500, and 10,000 computers are sold. In Indonesia (under autarky), the equilibrium price of computers is $400 and 8,000 computers are sold. (a) Draw supply and demand (partial equilibrium) graphs for each of these two countries indicating how many computers are sold and at what price when neither country trades (b) Now Uruguay and Indonesia open themselves up to global trade of com- puters. Let's assume the global price of computers is $450. Describe qual- itatively what happens to the price consumers pay for computers in each of these two countries (relative to the original autarky situation) as well as how much domestic producers sell now relative to the no trade world. Also state whether each country is an importer…
