The world price (Pw) of soybeans is $530 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of soybeans and that 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. 2.

- 6. The arguments for restricting trade Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported tires: The president of the United States argues that the government should impose a tariff on tires because they are a necessary input into the production of various weapons. Free trade would make the United States overly dependent on foreign countries for the supply of tires. In case of a war, the United States might not be able to make or purchase enough tires and, therefore, would not be able to make enough weapons to defend itself. Which of the following justifications is the president using to argue for the trade restriction on tires? Jobs and income argument Infant-industry argument OUsing-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument O Unfair-competition argument National-defense argumentTable of Contents Section 5- International Trade Dropbox Question 7 Dropbox Question 7 Dropbox Question 7 1.
