The following graph shows the same domestic demand and supply curves for soybeans in Venezuela. Suppose that the
Venezuelan government changes its international trade policy to allow the free trade of soybeans. The horizontal black
line (PW) represents the world price of soybeans at $350 per ton. Assume that Venezuela's entry into the world market
for soybeans has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with
international trade in soybeans. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible
before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade consumer surplus, and
then use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade producer surplus. When Venezuela allows free trade of soybeans,
the price of a ton soybeans in Venezuela will be $350. At this price, tons of soybean will be demanded in Venezuela, and
tons will be supplied by domestic suppliers. Therefore,…
Vietnam has a policy of free trade in motorcycles which are sold in world markets at a price of 10,000 per motorcycle.
Under free trade, Vietnam produces 100,000 motorcycles and imports 100,000 motorcycles. To provide some protection
to the domestic industry, Vietnam imposes an import tariff of $1500 per motorcycle. With this tariff in place, production
in Vietnam rises by 5,000 motorcycles and consumption drops by the same amount. Calculate the effects of the tariff on:
a. Consumer Surplus b. Producer Surplus c. Government Revenues d. Overall Welfare e. If the tariff imposed by the
Vietnamese had led to small reduction in world prices of, say, 250 dollars, how, qualitatively, would the welfare
calculations (a), (b), (c) and (d) above change?
If Bangladesh is open to international trade of wheat without any restrictions, it will import
the full value for your answer, accounting for the horizontal axis units.)
Suppose the Bangladeshi government wants to reduce imports to exactly 200,000 bushels of wheat to help domestic producers. A tariff of S
per bushel will achieve this.
A tariff set at this level would raise $
bushels of wheat. (Note: Be sure to enter
in revenue for the Bangladeshi government.

- Kazakhstan is an apple producer, as well as an importer of apples. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for apples, where Sx is the supply curve and Dx is the demand curve. The free trade world price of apples (Pw) is $200 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of apples to 120,000 tons. The world price of apples 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.) Then use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the new price of apples with a quota of 120,000 apples.
