4. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for wheat in Kenya. The world price ( Pw) of wheat is $250 per bushel 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 wheat and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in wheat. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place.

6. The arguments for restricting trade Suppose there is a policy proposal to increase trade restrictions on imported microprocessors to the United States. Read the following scenario and answer the question that follows. The president of the United States argues that the United States should threaten to impose a tariff on Chinese microprocessors in order to induce the Chinese to remove its tariff on American cars. Which of the following justifications is the president using to support their argument in favor of the trade restriction on microprocessors? Unfair-competition argument Infant-industry argument Jobs argument Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument National-security argument
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.

A) Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, total surplus, and imports under free trade. Illustrate all of these on a fully labelled graph. B) Suppose that the US puts a tariff of 6 on pharmaceuticals. When it does this, the free trade prices falls to 24. Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, tariff revenues, total surplus and deadweight loss under the tariff. Illustrate all of these on a fully labelled graph. C) Is the country better off under the tariff or free trade? How do you know?

Suppose that this country imposes a $5 per unit tariff on this good. Which of the following is true? O There will not be deadweight losses due to this tariff, since it is a small country. The domestic price will rise by $5. O Consumers will be better off. Producers will not increase domestic production.

4. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic demand for and supply of limes in Guatemala. The world price (Pw) of limes is $790 per ton and is displayed as a horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that all countries under consideration are small, that is, the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of limes and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in limes. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place.

4. Tariffs Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is Pw =$250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS). 490 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 460 CS 430 400 370 PS 340 310 280 250 220 190 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Thousands of tons of wheat) If Kenya allows international trade in the market for wheat, it will import tons of wheat. Now suppose the Kenyan government decides to impose a tariff of $60 on each imported ton of wheat. After the tariff, the price Kenyan consumers pay for a ton of wheat is $ and Kenya will import tons…
(a) Draw an offer curve for Guatemala that shows its offer of coffee for wheat. Include both an elastic and inelastic range in Guatemala’s offer curve. (b) Draw an offer curve for the United States that shows its offer of wheat for coffee. Show this US curve intersecting the Guatemalan offer curve in the inelastic range of the Guatemalan curve. Note the equilibrium terms of trade established. (c) Compare the equilibrium international price you found in question (b) to the autarky prices in Guatemala and in the United States. (You can find a country’s autarky price by drawing a line tangent to the offer curve at the origin.) Explain which country benefits the most from a more favorable movement in its terms of trade when it abandons its autarky position. (d) “The Guatemalan offer curve is likely to be less elastic than the US offer curve.” Justify this claim by explaining what factors determine the elasticity of an offer curve.
China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 11.5 – Q Supply: P = 5.5 + Q Price is in 10 Yuan (¥) per bushel of soybeans and the units for Quantity are 100 million bushels per year. This is to make graphing simpler. This does NOT mean that the price is 10 and quantity is 100. Rather it means that if the price was 40¥ and the quantity was 7,500,000,000 bushels, this would plot as 4 and 7.5 respectively. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel (this would graph as a horizontal line at 6.5). Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including: Domestic Demand curve (D), Domestic Supply curve (S), the World Price (WP), and the Price with tariffs (PT), along with the quantities imported both with and without the tariff. Based on your graph, what…
