The graph above is the U.S. market for some imported good. Supply is a flat curve. The U.S. can import the Chinese good for $40 and the Mexican good for $48. Assume the U.S. imposes $10 tariffs on each unit of the imported good. What will be the quantity imported? From which country? How your answer will change if the U.S. keep the $10 tariffs but join a trade bloc with Mexico? Will the country’s wellbeing increase or decrease? By how much (hint find the change in consumer surplus and the change in government revenue)? Explain your answers.
Suppose that the world price of bananas is 18 U.S. cents a pound and that when Australia does not trade bananas internationally, their equilibrium price in Australia is 12 U.S. cents a pound. If Australia opens up to international trade, does it export or import bananas? Explain how the price of bananas in Australia changes. How does the quantity of bananas consume in Australia change? How does the quantity of bananas grown in Australia change?
The figure below depicts the domestic market for a particular good. The curve labeled S represents domestic supply. The curve
labeled D represents domestic demand. The line labeled Pw is the world price of the good. If the figure does not show, you may

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.arrow_forwardThe 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.

- Steel Industry Consider a small country that exports steel. 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.
