# Effects of a Tariff on International TradeThe following graph illustrates the domestic demand for and supply of limes in Bangladesh. The world price ($P_W$) of limes is $800 per ton, shown as a horizontal black line. Throughout the analysis, assume all countries in this context are small, meaning the demand from any single country does not affect the world price of limes. Additionally, there are no transportation or transaction costs involved in the international trade of limes. Domestic suppliers aim to satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before engaging in exporting or importing activities.### Graph DescriptionThe graph features:- **Axes**: The vertical axis represents the price of limes per ton (in dollars), while the horizontal axis represents the quantity (tons of limes).- **Curves**: - **Domestic Demand**: Depicted by a downward-sloping blue line, indicating that demand decreases as price increases. - **Domestic Supply**: Illustrated by an upward-sloping orange line, indicating that supply increases as price increases.- **World Price Line**: A black horizontal line at $800, intersecting both the demand and supply curves.The graph pinpoints specific intersections:- Domestic demand intersects the world price at approximately 360 tons.- Domestic supply intersects the world price at about 120 tons.### Trade Details1. **Unrestricted Imports**: If Bangladesh engages in international trade without restrictions, it will import $ 240 $ tons of limes.2. **Tariff Implementation**: If the Bangladeshi government intends to reduce lime imports to precisely 160 tons to support domestic producers, a tariff of $ \$100 $ per ton would achieve this.3. **Revenue from Tariff**: A tariff at this level would generate $ \$16,000 $ in revenue for the Bangladeshi government.This example illustrates how tariffs can strategically influence domestic markets and government revenue within international trade contexts.

SCENARIO A: Estonia, a net importer of sugar, imposes a tariff on sugar. The following table provides the hypothetical information to Estonia's imports, consumption, and production of sugar following the tariff introduction. Without Tariff (free With Tariff trade) World price $12 $12 ($/pound) Domestic price $12 $15 ($/pound) Domestic Consumption 1500 1000 (million pounds/year) Domestic Production 100 300 (million pounds/year) Calculate the net welfare effect of the tariff introduction. Is Estonia better off or worse off?

Assume Australia is an importer of sofas and there are no trade restrictions. Australian consumers buy 1 000 000 sofas per year, of which 450 000 are produced domestically and 550 000 are imported.a Suppose that a technological advance among Swedish sofa manufacturers causes the world price of sofas to fall by $200. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Australian consumers and Australian producers, and how it affects total surplus in Australia.b After the fall in price, Australian consumers buy 1 150 000 sofas, of which 300 000 are produced domestically and 850 000 are imported. Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus from the price reduction.c If the government responded by putting a $200 tariff on imported sofas, what would this do? Calculate the revenue that would be raised and the deadweight loss. Would it be a good policy from the standpoint of Australian welfare? Who might support the policy?d Suppose that the fall in…
