Use the graph below and the following information to answer the next question(s). The world price of soybeans is $2.00 per bushel, and the importing country is small enough not to affect the world price. 2.25 2.00 Figure 6.1 60 70 130 140 Q/millions bushels World price Based on Figure 6.1, given a tariff of $0.25 per bushel on soybean imports, how much will domestic production increase?

2.  Recently, China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations:      Demand: P = 115 – 1/15Q     Supply: P = 55 + 1/15Q             Where P is Yuan per bushel of soybeans and Q is 10 million bushels per year. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel. Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including the Domestic Demand curve, Domestic Supply curve, the World Price, and the Price with tariffs.

Analyze the impact of a decrease in tariffs (taxes) on imported flat screen televisions in the market for flat screen televisions.

The following image shows the market for wheat for the country of Palatino. sº is the domestic supply of wheat, and DD is the domestic demand for wheat. Suppose the world price of wheat is $9 per bushel. Suppose a specific tariff of $6 is imposed on each bushel of wheat imported. The net welfare loss from the tariff is represented by the area Figure 19.4 SO Price($) 25 H 15 A E DD 200 300 600 700 Quantity of Wheat (thousands of bushels) a. B and D b. I and H O c. E O d. F e.

3. The world price of sugar is $.10 per lb., but import quotas raise the U.S. price to $.225 per lb. a. Compute the tariff equivalent of the quota (as a percent of the world price). b. Due to the high price of sugar in the U.S., high fructose corn sweetener emerges as an economic substitute for sugar. As a result it is expected that the demand for sugar will fall over time. From the perspective of the U.S. sugar industry, are they better off with tariff protection, or a quota which is equivalent today, but which stays fixed over time? Explain using a supply and demand diagram in your answer.

Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 2PQS = 1/2PAssume also that the market is perfectly competitive.Suppose the lumber market described was closed to the rest of the world. Now it opens to trade and the world price of lumber is 20. Compute the equilibrium price, quantity supplied by domestic producers, and quantity demanded by domestic consumers.2.Use a demand and supply graph to show how consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus change with international trade.3. Now suppose that Country A is a major exporter of lumber to Australia and in an effort to impose sanctions on Country A, Australia imposes a tariff of t=10 on all lumber imported into Australia. Use a graph of supply and demand to show how the tariff changes consumer, producer and total surplus.4. Calculate the equilibrium price, quantity produced and demanded domestically, tariff revenue, and deadweight loss.
