- Suppose that the domestic demand and supply for milk in a small open economy are given by QD = 80 – P,
QS = 40 + 2P, where P denotes price and Q denotes quantity.
- If the world price is $10, what is the free trade level of imports?
- The country imposes a quota of 4 units. Calculate and graph the following effects of an import quota: the increase in the domestic price; the quota rents; DWL.

- A small country imports salt. With free trade at the world price of $10 per pound, the country's national market is as follows: Domestic production: 100 million pounds per year Domestic consumption: 200 million pounds per year The country's government now decides to impose a $3 tariff per pound that limits salt imports to 40 million pounds per year. With the tariff in effect, the domestic production increases to 130 million pounds per year. Answer the following 3 questions according to this information. How much is the domestic producers gain or loss from the quota? How much is the domestic consumers' gain or loss after tariff? What is the government revenue from tariff?arrow_forward4. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for oranges in Zambia. The world price (Pw) of oranges is $780 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 oranges and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in oranges. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 1275 Domestic Demand 1165 1110 1055 X 1000 945 890 I PRICE (Dollars per ton) 1220 835 780 725 " 0 40 Domestic Supply 80 120 160 200 240 280 QUANTITY (Tons of oranges) " Pw 320 380 400 (?)arrow_forwardSuppose you have the following for white t-shirts market:Market demand is P=125-(3/8)QMarket supply is P=5+(1/8)Q. there is now a global supply that is horizontal at $15. But the government now imposes a tariff of $5 per unit of t-shirt.a. Obviously the world price and domestic price will now be $20. Calculate the quantityproduced and demanded domestically? b. Using graphs show the changes in CS (Consumer Surplus) and PS (Producer Surplus) comparedto Free Trade. Show also the government revenue, which is tariff per t-shirt times the new level of imports. Who gains in comparison to Free Trade scenario? Who loses? What is the welfare gain or loss? Show by using graphs.arrow_forward
- Consider a small country that exports steel. Suppose the following graph depicts the domestic demand and supply for steel in this country. One of the two price lines represents the world price of steel. Use the following graph to help you answer the questions below. You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. Because this country exports steel, the world price is represented by ________ . Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying $10 for each ton sold abroad. With this export subsidy, the price paid by domestic consumers is _________ per ton, and the price received by domestic producers is ___________ per ton. The quantity of steel consumed by domestic consumers _______ , the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers ______ , and the quantity of steel exported ________ . True or False: With the export subsidy, domestic producers will sell steel to domestic consumers and sell the rest…arrow_forwardA country decides to impose higher tariffs on imported goods to encourage domestic production. This policy change impacts the circular flow of income and expenditure by altering the dynamics of international trade. In this scenario, the imposition of tariffs on imports primarily:A) Acts as a leakage in the circular flowB) Functions as an injection into the circular flowC) Has no significant impact on the circular flowD) Reduces government expenditure in the circular flow Note:- Please avoid using ChatGPT and refrain from providing handwritten solutions; otherwise, I will definitely give a downvote.

- Price P1 D 01 Quantity The graph above shows domestic supply and demand with trade in a SMALL country. With trade, this country can purchase at the world price, Pw. Suppose that this country imposes a $5 per unit tariff on this good. Which of the following is true? O There will not be deadweight losses due to this tariff, since it is a small country. The domestic price will rise by $5. O Consumers will be better off. Producers will not increase domestic production.arrow_forwardIf the United States is currently importing 14 million barrels per day at a world price of $4.00 per unit (the entire amount consumed), what is the effect on imports of a tax equal to $4.00 per unit? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, help determine the quantity of U.S. crude oil imports after the $4.00 per-unit tax by drawing a horizontal line at the price paid by U.S. consumers. Label this line + Tax'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, determine quantity demanded at the price paid by U.S. consumers after the imposition of the import tax. Label this line 'Pop'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, determine quantity supplied at the price paid by U.S. consumers after the imposition of the import tax. Label this line "Pas". Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. The amount of imports after the $4.00 per-unit tax is million barrels per day. Before the tax, domestic producers supplied 0 barrels of crude oil. They now supply million barrels Price per barrel…arrow_forwardA small country imports T-shirts. With free trade at a world price of $10, domestic production is 10 million T-shirts and domestic consumption is 42 million T-shirts. The country's government now decides to impose a quota to limit T-shirt imports to 20 million per year. With the import quota in place, the domestic price rises to $12 per T- shirt and domestic production rises to 15 million T-shirts per year. The quota on T- shirts causes domestic consumers to A) gain $7 million. B) lose $7 million. C) lose $70 million. D) lose $77 millionarrow_forward
- [India is the world’s largest consumer of sugar. Assume the world price for sugar is $750 per ton.] [Assume India currently has a tariff of $50 per ton on sugar and imports 7 million tons of sugar. Show this situation in a graph. Label the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied domestically and imports clearly on a graph. Explain your graph in 3-4 sentences. How to draw the graph?arrow_forwardUS 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.arrow_forwardThe 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…arrow_forward
