Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically 80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linear schedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Q: Summarise and analyse the quantity of steel produced, consumed and imported in Country C. Analyse and discuss the welfare gain from trade in Country C. Show your answers of the steel market with a proper diagram.

Suppose that the world price of oil is $70 per barrel and that the United States can buy all the oil it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for oil in the United States are as follows: U.S. Quantity Demanded U.S. Quantity Supplied 26 14 24 16 22 18 20 20 18 22 Price ($ per Barrel) 55 60 65 70 75 Now suppose that the United States allows no oil imports. The equilibrium price in the United states is $ per barrel and the equilibrium quantity is million barrels. If the United States imposed a price ceiling of $55 per barrel on the oil market and prohibited imports, there would be an If the price ceiling is below $70, quantity supplied and quantity demanded differ. will determine how much oil is purchased. of million barrels of oil.

Much of the demand for U.S. agricultural output has come from other countries. In 1998, the total demand for wheat was Q = 3244 - 283P. Of this, total domestic demand was QD = 1700 - 107P, and domestic supply was QS =1944 + 207P. Suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40%. a. U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. What happens to the free-market price of wheat in the United States? Do farmers have much reason to worry? b. Now suppose the U.S. government wants to buy enough wheat to raise the price to $3.50 per bushel. With the drop in export demand, how much wheat would the government have to buy? How much would this cost the government?

Consider the markets for cell phones and landline telephone service in France. Presume that when the average income of residents of Lyon is 27,500€ per year, the quantity demanded of landline telephone service is 6,250 and the quantity demanded of an unlimited cell phone is 14,000. When the price of unlimited mobile service increases from 50€ to 60€ per month, the quantity demanded of landline service decreases to 5,500. Furthermore, presume that when the average income increases to 30,000€, the quantity demanded of unlimited mobile service increases to 16,500. a) According to the given information, what type of good is unlimited mobile telephone service? How do you know? Briefly explain.
