You are watching the nightly news. A political candidate being interviewed says, "I'm for free trade, but it must be fair trade. If our foreign competitors will not raise their environmental regulations, reduce subsidies to their export industries, and lower tariffs on their imports of our goods, we should retaliate with tariffs and import quotas on their goods to show them that we won't be played for fools!" If a foreign country subsidizes the production of a good exported to the United States, who bears the burden of their mistaken policy?
CENGAGE MINDTAP MindTap Assignment 4 (Chapters 9,13) Q s The following graph shows the same domestic supply and demand curves for pears in Zambia. Now, suppose that the Zambian government changes its stance on international trade, deciding to allow free trade in pears. The horizontal black line (Pw) represents the world price of pears at $350 per ton. Assume that Zambia's entry into the world market for pears has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in pears. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade in the area representing consumer surplus, and then use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade in the area representing producer surplus.

Consider the Colombian market for soybeans. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose Colombia's government currently does not allow international trade in soybeans. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of soybeans and the equilibrium quantity of soybeans in Colombia in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus in equilibrium. Based on the previous graph, total surplus in the absence of international trade is .

Russia trades chocolate with France, where it is a staple. The government of Russia places a price floor on their market for chocolate (assume that it is binding). They buy the surplus of 4 units from the producers and sell it in France. Refer to the graph to determine what happens when the government then sells the excess on the world market (to France). What should the government of Russia charge in order to sell four units of chocolate in France? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. $ Price $10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Market for chocolate in France 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Supply Demand 8 9 Quantity 10

Draw a graph that shows the effects on consumer and producer surplus (gain or loss) that result from a country importing a good. 2. Recently, China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 115 – 1/15Q Supply: P = 55 + 1/15Q Where P is Yuan per bushel of soybeans and Q is 10 million bushels per year. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel. Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including the Domestic Demand curve, Domestic Supply curve, the World Price, and the Price with tariffs. 3. How many bushels of soybeans can the US export to China if there are no tariffs? How many bushels with the imposed tariff? 4. Who are the greatest benefactors of China’s…
The following graph shows the market for wheat in the European Union (EU). The world price of wheat is $4.00 per bushel, so Sworld represents the world supply assuming that the EU cannot affect the world price of wheat. To support the agricultural sector, the EU guarantees a certain price for the farmers by imposing a variable levy of $4.00 per bushel to limit the import of wheat. On the graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the support price the farmers receive due to the variable $4.00 levy. Note: Select and drag the line segment from the palette to the graph. Then select a point on the line segment and drag it to its desired position.
