Refer to Figure 3.6, page 55. Assume that the graph depicts the U.S. domestic market for corn. How many bushels of corn, if any, will the United States export or import at a world price of $1, $2, $3, $4, and $5? Use this information to construct the U.S. export supply curve and import demand curve for corn. Suppose the only other corn-producing nation is France, where the domestic price is $4. Which country will export corn; which will import it?
The following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Dc is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price of
wheat. Assume that Canada is a relatively small producer of wheat, so changes in its output do not affect the world price of wheat. Also assume that
Canada is currently open to free trade, and domestic consumers are able to purchase wheat at the world price with negligible transportation costs.
Suppose a subsidy of $80 per ton is granted to exporters in Canada, allowing them to sell their products abroad at prices below their costs. Assume
that trade restrictions are also put in place in order to prevent domestic consumers from buying wheat abroad at the world price.
Use the grey line (star symbols) to indicate the world price of wheat plus the subsidy on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to
indicate the price of wheat in Canada and the quantity demanded at that price. Finally, use the tan point (dash symbol) to…

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. 1. Because this country exports steel, the world price is represented by P1 or P2. Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying $10 for each ton sold abroad. 2. With this export subsidy, the price paid by domestic consumers is $???? per ton, and the price received by domestic producers is $???? per ton. 3. The quantity of steel consumed by domestic consumers INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES, the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES, and the quantity of steel exported INCREASES or REMAINS UNCHANGED or DECREASES. 4.

On the following graph, use the black line (cross symbol) to indicate the domestic price of aluminum in the presence of a $100-per-tonne tariff. Then usę the green area (triangle symbol) to shade the area that represents consumer surplus under the tariff, and use the purple area (diamond symbol) to shade the area that represents producer surplus under the tariff. Finally, use the grey rectangle (star symbols) to show the revenue that the U.S. government collects as a result of the tariff, and use the tan triangles (dash symbols) to show the deadweight loss (DWL) from the imposition of the tariff. Note: There are two DWL triangles. Plot the right-most DWL triangle first, then plot the left-most DWL triangle after that. Plotting the DWL triangles out of order may cause your answer…arrow_forward

- Consider a region with two export products (gloves and socks) and two local goods (tattoos and manicures). The production of each export good is subject to localization economies, so each city specializes in one export good. According to Mr. Wizard, “If my two assumptions (one for export products and one for local goods) are correct, all the cities in the region will be the same size.” Assume that Mr. Wizard’s logic is correct. List his assumptions and explain why together they imply the region’s cities will be the same size.arrow_forwardSuppose that the United States currently both produces kumquats and imports them.

The lobbyist claims that the U.S. microprocessor industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on microprocessors, the domestic microprocessor industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market. Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to support their argument in favor of the trade restriction on microprocessors?
