Consider two countries, home and foreign and a single good, Y. Assume that home country imports good Y from foreign country. The import demand curve for good Y in home country is given by: MD = 170 – 2PY and the export supply curve for good Y in Foreign country is given by: EX = PY – 40. Free Trade Price: $70 30 Units of Good Y are traded under free trade If a tariff of $15 is imposed by the home country on each unit of good Y imported, Foreign exporters receive a price of $60.
