Consider the domestic steel market. Under autarky, the domestic equilibrium is such that 8 million pounds of steel are produced and sold at a price of $12 per pound. International producers, generally, are able to produce at a lower cost than domestic producers. Under an open trade policy, the world price of $6 enters the domestic market as an exogenous variable. For the questions below, assume that the domestic market is beginning in the equilibrium that exists under an open trade policy and consider the impact of a $3 per pound tariff on imported steel. What is the gain in producer surplus from the tariff? $ (round your answer to two decimal palces) million. What import quota, Q, would produce the same gain in producer surplus as the tariff? Q = million pounds (enter your response as a whole number). What is the deadweight loss using a quota? $ million.

Country X has 100 units of labour and country Y has 200 units of labour. Both countries produce computers and televisions. The unit labour requirements are given in the table below: Computers Televisions Country X 50 Country Y 100 Assume that free trade exists and that the relative price is such that both countries specialize completely in the industry in which they have a comparative advantage (neither country produces both goods). The supply of computers relative to televisions will be Select one: a. 0.02 (or 1/50) O b. 0.013 (or 1/75) c. 0.01 (or 1/100) d. impossible to determine without knowing the relative price of computers in terms of televisions

Consider two countries, Home and Foreign. In the figure below, the import demand ("IDHome") curve depicts Home's demand for Foreign's flash drives, and the import supply curve ("ISForeign") depicts Foreign's supply of flash drives to Home. Assume Home is a "large" country that levies a tariff against Foreign imports of flash drives, thereby shifting the relevant supply curve from ISForeign to ISForeign +t. For the following questions, please refer to the figure below. P $30 28 26 24 22 20 18 16 15-- 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 2 4 ISForeign +t 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 22 24 26 28 ISForeign IDHome 30 Q With free trade, Home's consumer surplus equals $112.50 and Foreign's producer surplus equals $112.50. With a tariff of $ 12 per flash drive, Home's consumer surplus equals $72, Foreign's producer surplus equals $ 36, Home's tariff revenue equals $72, and Home's deadweight loss equals $45. Of the Home's tariff revenue, $36 comes from Foreign's producers, and the rest comes from Home's consumers.…
