a) Suppose the U.S. engages in free trade with both China and Vietnam. Compute the equilibrium price paid by U.S. consumers and the number of cleaners China and Vietnam will each sell to the U.S. Show your work. b) Repeat your analysis from part a), now for the case where the U.S. imposes a tariff of $10 on each imported cleaner. c) Repeat your analysis once again, now for the case where the U.S. imposes a $10 tariff on each cleaner imported from China, but engages in free trade with Vietnam.

The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for soybeans in Guatemala. The world price (Pw ) of soybeans is $540 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country doès not affect the world price of soybeans and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in soybeans. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 900 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 855 810 765 720 675 630 585 Pw 540 495 450 40 80 120 160 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Tons of soybeans) PRICE (Dollars per ton)
Suppose the market for apples is characterized by the following set of equations: Qs = 100 + 20P (domestic supply function) QD = 500 – 30P (domestic demand function) PW = 4 (world price) a. Given the world price of 4, how much would be the quantity supplied and quantity demanded for apples? Solve for the aforementioned and illustrate this market. Properly label everything. b. solve for the optimal tariff level which equilibrates the domestic market. Show your solution. Illustrate in a partial equilibrium model.
S=20+20P and D = 100-20P are Home's supply and demand curves for wheat. * S = 40 + 20P and D = 80-20P are Foreign's supply and demand curves for wheat. With free trade the price of wheat is $ (Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny.) Suppose home imposes a specific tariff of $0.50 on wheat. Home consumers will now pay $ and foreign's export price is $ (Round your responses rounded to the nearest penny.) Now assume that foreign is a much larger country. Specifically, Foreign's demand curve for wheat is D = 800-200P. Its supply curve is S = 400 + 200P. * With free trade the price of wheat is $ (Round your response rounded to the nearest penny.) Suppose Home imposes a specific tariff of $0.50 on wheat. Home consumers will now pay $ (Round your response rounded to the nearest penny.) $ In which case does the tariff create the greatest terms of trade gains? When Home is and foreign's export price is
The domestic supply and demand equations for good A are given by Qs= P - 60 and Qd= 360-2P. The world price of the good is $90. At the current world price, how much of good A is produced domestically and how much is consumed? How much of the good is the country importing from the world? Graph the inverse domestic supply and demand equations with the world price. Show on the graph and calculate the producer surplus and consumer surplus. Suppose the government wants to support domestic producers by imposing a tariff of $30 per unit of good A imported. Compute the effect on producer and consumer surplus, the amount of revenue gained by the government and the deadweight loss. If you were a consumer of this good, would you vote for or against the new tariff? Explain your reasoning.

PROBLEM (6) (Optimal tariff setting without the small country assumption) US demand and supply for wheat are Q = 120-p and Q = p respectively. The rest of the world ROW demand and supply for wheat are Q = 240 - 4p and Q = 2p respectively. Suppose the US is imposing $t (per unit) tariff for imports from the rest of the world. What should the tarifft be, in order to maximize Tariff Revenues?

Topic 3 Assignment The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is open to international trade of maize without any restrictions. The world price (Pw) of maize is $245 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout this problem, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of maize and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in maize. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph.

Steel prices to U.S. consumers would be expected to: (A) Increase, and the foreign demand for U.S. exports would increase (B) Decrease, and the foreign demand for U.S. exports would increase (C) Increase, and the foreign demand for U.S. exports would decrease (D) Decrease, and the foreign demand for U.S. exports would decrease.
Zenobia is a small country that takes the world price of barley as given. Its domestic supply and demand for barley are given by: D = 60 – 4P S = 4P – 12 7 euro for every bushel of barley Suppose the Zenobian government applies an import quota that limits imports to 12 bushels. a) Determine the quantity demanded, quantity supplied, and new domestic price with the quota. b) Calculate the quota rent. c) Assuming that quota licenses are allocated to domestic producers, what is the net effect of the quota on Zenobia's welfare? d) Assuming that quota rents are earned by foreign exporters, what is the net effect of the quota on Zenobia's welfare?

Suppose New Zealand is open to free trade in the world market for maize. Since New Zealand is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply of maize in New Zealand have no impact on the world price. The following graph shows the domestic market for maize in New Zealand. The world price of a ton of maize is Pw $800. = 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).
