pound and that Laos imposes an import tariff of $2 per pound on foreign cheese. Move the price line to describe the new price
with the tariff and place the consumer surplus (CS) and producer surplus (PS) areas to describe the new welfare situation.

- Consider two countries: South Korea and Taiwan. Taiwan can produce one million mobile phones per day at the cost of 10 per phone and South Korea can produce 50 million mobile phones at 5 per phone.

- 3. Import quotas Kazakhstan is a grape producer, as well as an importer of grapes. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for grapes, where Sx is the supply curve and Dx is the demand curve. The free trade world price of grapes (Pw) is $800 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of grapes to 120,000 tons. The world price of grapes is not affected by the quota. Analyze the effects of the quota on Kazakhstan's welfare. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw the Kazakhstan's supply curve including the quota SK+Q. (Hint: Draw this as a straight line even though this curve should be equivalent to the domestic supply curve below the world price.)
