8. Suppose that the world price of oil is $70 per barrel and that the United States can buy all the oil it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for oil in the United States are as follows: PRICE U.S. QUANTITY DEMANDED U.S. QUANTITY PER BARREL) SUPPLIED 68 16 4 70 15 6. 72 14 74 13 10 76 12 12 a. On graph paper, draw the supply and demand curves for the United States. b. With free trade in oil, what price will Americans pay for their oil? What quantity will Americans buy? How much of this will be supplied by American producers? How much will be imported? Illustrate total imports on your graph of the U.S. oil market. c. Suppose the United States imposes a tax of $4 per barrel on imported oil. What quantity would Americans buy? How much of this would be supplied by American producers? How much would be imported? How much tax would the government collect? d. Briefly summarize therimpact of an oil import tax by explaining who is helped and who is hurt among the fol- lowing groups: domestic oil consumers, domestic oil ducers, foreign oil producers, and the U.S. government. pro-

Suppose a decrease in the world demand for desktop computers causes the price of desktop computers to fall from $600 to $500. Before the fall in demand, Juna, a local computer dealer in Japan, used to produce 9,000 desktop computers and exported 50 percent of it to other countries every week. However, after the fall in demand, Juna reduced its production to 8,000 units and exports only 40 percent of its total output.a. What are the changes in the quantity sold to domestic consumersb. What are the changes in the consumer surplus?c. Sketch a diagram to illustrate the changes for Juna.

Answer the following questions by using demand and supply analysis. a) Beef supplies are sharply reduced because of a drought in the animal raising cities, and consumers turn to chicken as a substitute for beef. i. How would you illustrate this change in the beef-market in supply-and- demand terms? How do the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of beef change? How would you illustrate this change in the chicken-market in supply-and- demand terms? How do the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of chicken change? ii. b) During the summer months, the price of ice cream increases and the quantity of ice creams sold also increases. Is this a violation of the law of demand? Briefly explain and discuss your response.

4. U.S. agricultural farmers are excited since the government announced an increase in subsidies even though the substitutes for agricultural goods that are imported have increased in demand; therefore, please illustrate by constructing a supply and demand graph, the direction in which the curves will shift and state the new equilibrium price and quantity; for example, state whether price and quantity increased, decreased, or are indeterminate. Please explain your rationale based on the determinants of demand and supply.
