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.

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.…

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
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. If a tariff of $15 is imposed by the home country on each unit of Good Y imported, Home consumers pay $75 If a tariff of $15 is imposed by the home country the number of goods traded is 20. a) If home country imposes a specific tariff of $15 per unit of good Y imported, what is the tariff revenue? Show your work. b) Assume that instead of a specific tariff, an import quota will be used on good Y. What is the amount of the quota that will have identical effects (in terms of amount of good Y imports and the…
The supply of wheat in a small open economy is given by S= -100+10p and its imports demand function is given by M= 900-15p, where p is the price, S is the quantity supplied and M is the amount of imports. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantities of wheat produced and consumed in autarky. Suppose the country enters free trade and that the world price is pF = 30 euros. Calculate the new quantities produced and consumed in the country. Following complains by local producers that free trade imports hurt domestic production, the country’s government decides on the imposition of an import tariff t=15 euros per unit of imports. Calculate the after-tariff quantities produced and consumed in the country as well as the change in the country’s aggregate welfare, relative to free trade. Briefly comment on your answer.
US imports of sugar are subject to a quota. Although rounded up, the figures used in this exercise are close to reality. Thanks to the quota, US production of sugar is 6 million ton/year, instead of 5 million without the quota, and US consumption of sugar is 8 million ton/year, instead of 9 million without the quota. The US consumer pays $480/ton, whereas the world price is $280/ton. a) Easy: What is the volume of the quota? b) Easy: Why is the US price higher with the quota? c) Medium: Can you plot US supply and demand curves? Show graphically the impact of the quota for consumers and producers.
The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Burundi. The world price (Pw) of maize is $270 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of maize and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in maize. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 450 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 430 410 390 370 350 330 310 290 P 270 250 40 80 120 180 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Burundi is open to international trade in maize without any restrictions, it will import tons of maize. Suppose the Burundian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 160 tons of maize to help domestic producers. A tariff of per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $ in revenue for the…

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 price. Finally, use the tan point (dash symbol) to…
The figure below shows the domestic supply and demand demand for shoes. As labeled, the no-trade domestic equilibrium occurs at a price of $80 per pair of shoes.
