A small country is considering imposing a tariff on imported wine at the rate of $5 per bottle. Economists have estimated the following based on this tariff amount:
World price of wine (free trade): $20 per bottle
Domestic production (free trade): 500,000 bottles
Domestic production (after tariff): 600,000 bottles
Domestic consumption (free trade): 750,000 bottles
Domestic consumption (after tariff): 650,000 bottles
Draw a demand and supply curve for the country’s wine market to show the effects of the tariff.
Find the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue resulting from the tariff.
Suppose the nation of Isoland is an importer of textiles and is looking for a way to raise government revenue. The following graph shows the effect of a tariff on textile imports.
Which of the choices describes how the effects of import tariffs and import quotas are different?
The domestic cost of an import tariff is larger than the domestic cost of a comparable import quota.
Import tariffs create deadweight loss, whereas import quotas do not create deadweight loss.
Quotas do not affect the equilibrium price, whereas tariffs do not affect the equilibrium quantity.
Some foreign producers receive some of the benefits generated by an import quota.

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.

- The supply and demand for wheat in the small country Tinyland are: Qs = P and Qd = 400 – P, respectively. The world price of wheat is Pw = 100. a. Suppose the government imposes an import quota on wheat Q = 100. Find the price of wheat in Tinyland. Find the tariff per unit that generates the same volume of trade as the quota. Next suppose that instead of a quota or a tariff, the government levies a specific (per unit) consumption tax on wheat. Find the price of wheat in Tinyland when the tax is equal to the tariff you found in part ii and the quantity of wheat imported. NB: In contrast to a tariff, which is levied on all units produced abroad (imported), i. ii. a consumption tax is levied on all units sold in the domestic market regardless of where they were produced. b.
