The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for soybeans in Honduras. The world price (Pw) of soybeans is $530 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 soybeans and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in soybeans. Also, assume that domestic
suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place.

- Suppose that the United States currently both produces kumquats and imports them. The U.S. government then decides to restrict international trade in kumquats by imposing a quota that allows imports of only six million pounds of kumquats into the United States each year. The figure shows the results of imposing the quota. Fill in the following table (enter all numeric responses rounded to the nearest penny for prices and as whole numbers for quantities).

Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 11.5 – Q Supply: P = 5.5 + Q Price is in 10 Yuan (¥) per bushel of soybeans and the units for Quantity are 100 million bushels per year. This is to make graphing simpler. This does NOT mean that the price is 10 and quantity is 100. Rather it means that if the price was 40¥ and the quantity was 7,500,000,000 bushels, this would plot as 4 and 7.5 respectively. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel (this would graph as a horizontal line at 6.5). Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff.

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.

We do, however, have free trade in corn, which is fermented and distilled to make ethanol, and accounts for approximately 55 percent of the cost. The effective rate of protection on the process of turning corn into ethanol is percent. (Round your response to the nearest whole number.)arrow_forward
