Now, suppose that the Bangladeshi government changes its stance on international trade, deciding to allow free trade in melons. The horizontal black line (Pw) represents the world price of melons at $500 per ton. Assume that Bangladesh's entry into the world market for melons has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in melons. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade in the area representing consumer surplus, and then use the purple triangle (diamond-symbol) to shade in the area representing producer surplus.

- Vietnam has a policy of free trade in motorcycles which are sold in world markets at a price of 10,000 per motorcycle. Under free trade, Vietnam produces 100,000 motorcycles and imports 100,000 motorcycles. To provide some protection to the domestic industry, Vietnam imposes an import tariff of $1500 per motorcycle. With this tariff in place, production in Vietnam rises by 5,000 motorcycles and consumption drops by the same amount. Calculate the effects of the tariff on: a. Consumer Surplus b. Producer Surplus c. Government Revenues d. Overall Welfare e.
