Assume that the domestic supply and demand for a good are given by the following equations. Q= 400 - 30 P Q = 50 + 20P a. If the world price is $4, what is the free trade level of imports?Calculate the net welfare effects of a quota of 50 units. (Quota rent captured by the government) Use also graph to show the effects of this quota. b. Imposing %25 tariff is much better than imposing a quota of 50 units, when net welfare cost is considered. Do you agree or disagree? When answering this question, assume that all the quota rents will be gained by the government.
