Home Demand: 90 - 2Pt Foreign Demand: 50 - 4Pt*Home Supply: 30 + 2Pt Foreign Supply: 10 + 2Pt* There are demand and supply functions for good corn for the home country and demand and supply functions for good wheat for the foreign country. Home country as an importer and foreign country as an exporter trade with each other, at zero cost of transportation.A. Find and graph the equilibrium under free trade. What is the world price and thevolume of trade? Also, in the absence of trade, what are the prices that would prevailin home country for corn and in foreign country for wheat?.(Pt = Pt* = Pw -> Pw; world prices)B. Suppose home imposes a specific tariff of 5 on corn imports. Find and graph theeffects of tariff on price of corn in each country, on the quantity of corn supplied anddemanded in each country, on volume of trade? And briefly explain these results inrelation to the effects of the tariff?C. Let the tariff conditions in section (b) be valid. Determine and graph the effect of…
Consider the market for coffee in the small, isolated country of Krakozhia. Within Krakozhia, the domestic demand for coffee is: Q = 500-2p and the domestic supply of coffee is: Q* = -150+ 3p
Suppose the world price of clothing is $50 per unit. Domestic demand and domestic supply aredetermined by the following equations:Domestic Demand: p = 200 − 2qDomestic Supply: p = 20 + 3qwhere p and q represent price and quantity, respectively. Domestic government levies an ad valorem tariff rate of 100% 11. Under the 100% tariff protection, domestic economy’s national welfare is worth _____ or so.A) $1,250B) $2,850C) $3,025D) $4,73312. Under free trade, domestic economy’s national welfare is worth _________or so.A) $5,250B) $5,775C) $6,125D) $6,57513. Suppose that domestic economy moves from the initial free trade regime to the 100% tariffregime. Then the deadweight loss resulting from production inefficiency can be calculated at_________ or soA) $416.75B) $455.25C) $525.15D) none of the above
When a country becomes an exporter of a good, domestic consumer surplus. and domestic producer surplus (a) increases; increases (b) decreases; decreases (c) increases; decreases (d) decreases; increases
The effective rate of protection measures * the quota equivalent value of a tariff. the efficiency with which the tariff is collected at the customhouse. the difference between domestic and foreign prices of the import. the protection given by the tariff to domestic value added. the "true" ad valorem value of a tariff. The deadweight loss of a tariff * is not a social loss because it is paid for by rich corporations. is not a social loss because it aids domestic consumers. is a social loss because it reduces the revenue of the government. is not a social loss because it merely redistributes revenue from one sector to another. is a social loss because it promotes inefficient use of national resources.
Assume that Canada is an importer of televisions and that there are no trade restrictions. Canadian consumers buy 1.2 million televisions per year, of which 600,000 are produced domestically and 600,000 are imported. Suppose that a technological advance among Japanese television manufacturers causes the world price to fall $800 to $700. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Canadian consumers and Canadian producers and how it affects total surplus in Canada. Label the diagram carefully to show all the areas using letters of alphabets. (Do not shade the areas). After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.4 million televisions, of which 400,000 are produced domestically and 1 million are imported. Calculate the change (this will be only the area either gained or lost by consumers and producers) in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus due to price reduction. Provide numerical answers by calculating the area of change in surplus due to fall in…
