Russia trades chocolate with France, where it is a staple. The government of Russia places a price floor on their market for chocolate (assume that it is binding). They buy the surplus of 4 units from the producers and sell it in France. Refer to the graph to determine what happens when the government then sells the excess on the world market (to France). The government of Russia charges $7 in order to sell four units of chocolate in France. Determine who is better off and worse off.

The quantity exchanged in the market will be below the equilibrium quantity whenever the prevailing market price is not equal to equilibrium price. Is this statement true or false? Please include 2 graphs indicating the quantity exchanged in each graph

The market for bell peppers is competitive. For bell peppers to grow properly they need substantial rainfall. A very dry winter in California did not produce enough rain to grow bell peppers in California, one of the major bell pepper growing regions of the world. In the graph below, click on the equilibrium point that illustrates the effect of insufficient rainfall on the market for bell peppers. P 0 D" S $

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…

In April 2020, there was shortage of Ghacem cement in the country which led to a rise in the price of Ghacem cement. The government then intended to put a price ceiling on cement in the country to minimize the loss to users of cement for construction purposes. Some people were of the view that "the fixing of a price ceiling for cement in the country will not have any effect". Briefly discuss with the aid of an appropriate diagram, the effect of the imposition of price ceiling on Ghacem cement in the market. After the imposition of the price ceiling (and initial market equilibrium), two events took place in the cement market. First, Ghacem Company Limited obtained an efficient technology of production which influenced supply of Ghacem cement. This was followed by the second event (after a year) where the prices of raw materials for Ghacem cement production increased. An economist trained in the University of Professional Studies, Accra is of the view that, the final equilibrium price,…

Q43 China is the largest wheat producer in the world. Covid-19 has played havoc with the global wheat market.  A decrease in demand for wheat from all countries, including China, due to Covid-19 the global market and an increase in supply of wheat by all producers will: Multiple Choice   decrease the equilibrium quantity and affect price of wheat in an indeterminate way.   increase price of wheat and affect the equilibrium quantity in an indeterminate way.   increase the equilibrium quantity and decrease the price of wheat.   neither the price nor the quantity of wheat will be affected.   decrease price of wheat and affect the equilibrium quantity in an indeterminate way.

Small engines are the main components of office and house appliances like printers, hand dryers, microwave ovens, food processors, etc. The graph depicts the market for small engines in the United States. Suppose that the government imposes a $15 tariff on each imported engine in an effort to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States.

In a hypothetical country called Tritonland, demand and supply of fish are determined by the following system of equations: Q Q = 3+P+v, where Q and P stand for quantity and price respectively, and that u and v are independent Uniform [0, 2]. Suppose we have i.i.d. observations (Qi, Pi)_1 from n markets in equilibrium. Answer the next few questions. = 15 P+u,
