Assume Australia is an importer of sofas and there are no trade restrictions. Australian consumers buy 1 000 000 sofas per year, of which 450 000 are produced domestically and 550 000 are imported.a Suppose that a technological advance among Swedish sofa manufacturers causes the world price of sofas to fall by $200. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Australian consumers and Australian producers, and how it affects total surplus in Australia.b After the fall in price, Australian consumers buy 1 150 000 sofas, of which 300 000 are produced domestically and 850 000 are imported. Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus from the price reduction.c If the government responded by putting a $200 tariff on imported sofas, what would this do? Calculate the revenue that would be raised and the deadweight loss. Would it be a good policy from the standpoint of Australian welfare? Who might support the policy?d Suppose that the fall in…

4. Assume that supply for replacement mobile phone batteries in the Australian domestic market is given by the inverse-supply expression P = 9+0.000010s, while inverse demand is P = 19 -0.00001QD. The world price for batteries is $10. (a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for replacement mo- bile phone batteries if Australia does not engage in any international trade. Compute the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the total surplus in the market. (b) Now assume that Australia trades on the world market for batteries, exporting or importing batteries depending on the relation between the world and domestic prices. Find the price at which batteries will be sold in Australia, the quantity purchased, the quantity produced, and the quantity of imports or exports. Compute the consumer surplus, the producer surplus, and the total surplus in the market, as well as the gains from trade relative to part (a). (c) The Australian government imposes a $2 tariff on the…
4. Tariffs Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is Pw =$250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS). 490 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 460 CS 430 400 370 PS 340 310 280 250 220 190 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Thousands of tons of wheat) If Kenya allows international trade in the market for wheat, it will import tons of wheat. Now suppose the Kenyan government decides to impose a tariff of $60 on each imported ton of wheat. After the tariff, the price Kenyan consumers pay for a ton of wheat is $ and Kenya will import tons…
