If Guatemala is open to international trade in soybeans without any restrictions, it will import tons of soybeans. Suppose the Guatemalan government wants to reduce imports to exactly 60 tons of soybeans to help domestic producers. A tariff of $ per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise in revenue for the Guatemalan government.

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

Kazakhstan is a grape producer, as well as an importer of grapes. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for grapes, where SK is the supply curve and Dk is the demand curve. The free trade world price of grapes (Pw) is $800 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of grapes to 120,000 tons. The world price of grapes is not affected by the quota. Analyze the effects of the quota on Kazakhstan's welfare. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw the Kazakhstan's supply curve including the quota SK+Q. (Hint: Draw this as a straight line even though this curve should be equivalent to the domestic supply curve below the world price.) Then use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the new price of grapes with a quota of 120,000 grapes. PRICE (Dollars per ton) 4000 3600 3200 2800 2400 2000 1600 1200 800 400 0 0 40 80 120 160 200 SK 240 10 0² W 280 320 360 400 SK+Q Price with Quota A Change in PS Quota Rents DWL ?

Home's demand curve for wheat is P = 10 - (1/20)Qd. Its supply curve is P = 4+ (1/20)Qs Foreign's demand curve for wheat is P * = 8 - (1/20) Qd* Its supply curve is P* = 2+(1/20)Qs* Determine the effect of the tariff on Home import-competing producers APS = Home consumers ACS = Home government tariff revenue AGR= Adding these effects together AWAPS + ACS + AGR =

Economics Question

Consider the pharmaceutical market in the US. The demand is Q = 200 - 2P Q P while supply is 2 40s Q P. The free trade price is 25. A) Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, total surplus, and imports under free trade. Illustrate all of these on a fully labelled graph. B) Suppose that the US puts a tariff of 6 on pharmaceuticals. When it does this, the free trade prices falls to 24. Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, tariff revenues, total surplus and deadweight loss under the tariff. Illustrate all of these on a fully labelled graph. C) Is the country better off under the tariff or free trade? How do you know?

All of the following statements about import tariffs are true except   Group of answer choices they result in countries selling the product at a lower price to domestic consumers they reduce the volume of trade and the gains from trade they limit specialization and the division of labor they yield revenue for the government that levies tariffs

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. Based on your graph, what…

5. Agricultural export subsidies in a small nation The following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Do is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price of wheat. Assume that Canada is a relatively small producer of wheat, so changes in its output do not affect the world price of wheat. Also assume that Canada is currently open to free trade, and domestic consumers are able to purchase wheat at the world price with negligible transportation costs. Suppose a subsidy of $80 per ton is granted to exporters in Canada, allowing them to sell their products abroad at prices below their costs. Assume that trade restrictions are also put in place in order to prevent domestic consumers from buying wheat abroad at the world price. Use the grey line (star symbols) to indicate the world price of wheat plus the subsidy on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the price of wheat in Canada and the quantity demanded at that…
