H3.
3. The world price of sugar is $.10 per lb., but import quotas raise the U.S. price to $.225 per lb.
a. Compute the tariff equivalent of the quota (as a percent of the world price).
b. Due to the high price of sugar in the U.S., high fructose corn sweetener emerges as an economic
substitute for sugar. As a result it is expected that the demand for sugar will fall over time. From the
perspective of the U.S. sugar industry, are they better off with tariff protection, or a quota which is
equivalent today, but which stays fixed over time? Explain using a supply and demand diagram in your
answer.
