Below is a domestic supply and demand graph for cotton. Label the free trade equilibrium point (FTE). Assume a tariff is placed on imported cotton that eliminates all imports. 1. Label the tariff equilibrium point (TE). 2. Shade in the lost gains from trade (LGT) because of this tariff. Lost gains from trade are also called deadweight loss. 3. Shade in the area representing the wasted resources (WR) created as a result of the restriction on imported cotton.

Kazakhstan is a grape producer, as well as an importer of grapes. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for grapes, where SK is the supply curve and Dk is the demand curve. The free trade world price of grapes (Pw) is $800 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of grapes to 120,000 tons. The world price of grapes 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 grapes with a quota of 120,000 grapes.

Suppose Guatemala is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Since Guatemala is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply of wheat in Guatemala have no impact on the world price. The following graph shows the domestic market for wheat in Guatemala. The world price of a ton of wheat is Pw = $400. 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). (?)

A country moves from a situation of no trade to a situation where it imports a good. Which of the following does not occur in the market for this good in the importing country? A. Deadweight loss decreases. B. Total surplus increases. C. Consumer surplus increases. D. Producer surplus decreases. E. Workers in the domestic industry lose.
Use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade consumer surplus in Cambodia before China's clothing industry expands. Then use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade producer surplus.

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?
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.

You are provided with the following information about the Canadian turkey market:1. The world price of turkey is $5.2. The Canadian turkey market is currently (before the new trade agreement) protected by a tariffrate quota (TRQ) of the following format:a) the in-quota tariff is $1 per unitb) the import quota volume is 100 unitsc) the over-quota tariff is $10 per unit.3. An excess demand (ED) (for imports) function for turkey has been estimated as? = 28 − 0.14?. Notes: Canada is a small importing country in the world market for turkeys. Answer the question below: The Canadian government is considering reducing the in-quota tariff to $0.50. Modify the diagram for this market, and solve for the Canadian turkey price and the volume of imports. Label all relevant functions, axes, etc.
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.
