The following graph shows the market for TV sets in Venezuela. The grey line illustrates the world supply curve of TV sets. Suppose that Venezuela
imposes a quota that limits imports to 300 TV sets.
Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the quota-adjusted supply curve on the following graph. (Hint: Make sure you use three points to plot
the curve, which is parallel to the original supply curve, with the last point indicating the upper limit allowed by the graph.) Then, use the black point
(cross symbol) to indicate the new equilibrium point.

Consider the Colombian market for soybeans.
The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose Colombia's government currently does not allow international trade in soybeans.
Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of soybeans and the equilibrium quantity of soybeans in Colombia in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus in equilibrium.
Based on the previous graph, total surplus in the absence of international trade is

Suppose Zambia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Since
Zambia is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply
of soybeans in Zambia have no impact on the world price. The following graph
shows the domestic market for soybeans in Zambia. The world price of a ton of
soybeans is PW = $250. Use the following graph to show the effects of the $
10 tariff. Use the black line (plus symbol) to indicate the world price plus the
tariff. Then, use the green points (triangle symbols) to show the consumer
surplus with the tariff and the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to show the
producer surplus with the tariff. Lastly, use the orange quadrilateral (square
symbols) to shade the area representing government revenue received from
the tariff and the tan points (rectangle symbols) to shade the areas
representing deadweight loss (DWL) caused by the tariff.

- The following graph shows the market for wheat in the European Union (EU). The world price of wheat is $4.00 per bushel, so Sworld represents the world supply assuming that the EU cannot affect the world price of wheat. To support the agricultural sector, the EU guarantees a certain price for the farmers by imposing a variable levy of $4.00 per bushel to limit the import of wheat. On the graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the support price the farmers receive due to the variable $4.00 levy. Note: Select and drag the line segment from the palette to the graph. Then select a point on the line segment and drag it to its desired position.

Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the world price of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of SD+WSD+W, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreign producers together offer domestic consumers. In this case, the free-trade equilibrium (black plus) occurs at a price of $240 per barrel of oil and a quantity of 9 million barrels. At this price, the United States imports 6 million barrels of oil. Suppose the U.S. government imposes a $60-per-barrel tariff on oil imports.arrow_forward
