3. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Contente and Euphoria. They each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Jeans Corn Country (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) Contente 8. 16 Euphoria 20 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 3 million hours per month to produce corn, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 1 million hours per month to produce corn. Consequently, Contente produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of corn, and Euphoria produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and corn it produces.

6. The arguments for restricting trade Suppose there is a policy debate regarding the United States' imposing trade restrictions on imported semiconductors.. Read the following scenario and answer the question that follows. A political pundit argues that the government should impose a tariff on semiconductors because they are a necessary input into the production of various weapons. Free trade, she contends, would make the United States overly dependent on foreign countries for the supply of semiconductors and thus, in case of war, unable to make enough weapons to defend itself. Which of the following justifications is the pundit using to argue for the trade restriction on semiconductors? O Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument O Jobs argument O National-security argument Unfair-competition argument Infant-industry argument
27. The statement that "if an import tariff raises the relative price of the imported good, the price of the factor used intensively in its production will rise relative to both commodity prices, while the price of the other factor will fall relative to both commodity prices" is called (a) the cancellation axiom (b) the Stolper-Samuelson theorem (c) the law of demand and supply (d) the law of alternatives (e) the principle of comparative advantage oun until on ogui.

2. The impact of a tariff Consider a hypothetical example of trade in aluminum between the United States and China. For simplicity, assume that China is the only source of U.S. aluminum imports. The following graph shows the U.S. market for aluminum. Note that in the absence of any trade, the market price for aluminum in the United States is $500 per tonne, and the equilibrium quantity is 250 million tonnes per month. Use the green area (triangle symbol) to show U.S. consumer surplus under free trade with China, and use the purple area (diamond symbol) to show U.S. producer surplus under free trade with China. 1000 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 900 Consumer Surplus 800 700 Producer Surplus 600 500 400 Free Trade Price 300 200 100 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 50 100 150 QUANTITY OF ALUMINUM (Millions of tonnes per month) PRICE (Dollars per tonne)
1. Welfare effects of free trade in an exporting country Consider the New Zealand market for lemons. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for lemons in New Zealand. Suppose New Zealand's government currently does not allow international trade in lemons. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a tonne of lemons and the equilibrium quantity of lemons in New Zealand in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus in equilibrium. NOTE: for the drop down question. the optionfs for first 2 are (increases or decreases), and the last drop down question is (loss or gain)
In the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and Imports In the boxes across the row marked "Trade Action," and enter each country's final consumption of each good on the line marked "Consumption." When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of jeans was 17 million palrs per week, and the total production of rye was 46 million bushels per week. Because of specialization, the total production of jeans has increased by 3 million pairs per week, and the total production of rye has increased by 18 million bushels per week. Because the two countries produce more jeans and more rye under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade. Calculate the gains from trade-that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked "Increase in Consumption"). Dolorium Arcadia Jeans Rye…

8. Assume that now trade happens. The relative supply of wine in the home country is less than the world (because the home country is better at making laptops). What would happen to the relative price of wine to laptop in the home country when trade is allowed? Which group would benefit from this? a) Pwine/Ptaptop would increase and laptop manufacturers would gain b) Pwine/Plaptop would increase and wine makers would gain c) Pwine/Ptaptop would decrease and laptop manufacturers would gain d) Pwine/Piaptop would decrease and wine makers would gain

Sujee International Trade - End of Chapter Problem The United States is the fifth largest sugar consumer and the fifth largest sugar producer in the world. The U.S. sugar industry has enjoyed trade protection since 1789 when Congress enacted the first tariff against foreign-produced sugar. The accompanying graph depicts the supply and demand for sugar in the United States in 2019. The world price for sugar was $0.12 per pound. a. The United States enacts an import tariff of 6 cents per pound. In the accompanying graph, place the line labeled "World price + tarill" in the graph to reflect this tariff. Price (cesta per pound) 52 54 48 24 18 D 0 B Market for sugar Domestic supply 19 24 Quantity (billions of pounds) CS d. Given the tarill, quantity demanded will be pounds.
