Kawmin is a small country that produces and consumesjelly beans. The world price of jelly beans is$1 per bag, and Kawmin’s domestic demand andsupply for jelly beans are governed by the followingequations:Demand: QD = 8 − PSupply: QS = P,where P is in dollars per bag and Q is in bags of jellybeans.a. Draw a well-labeled graph of the situation inKawminif the nation does not allow trade.Calculatethe following (recalling that the area ofa triangle is ½ × base × height): the equilibriumprice and quantity, consumer surplus, producersurplus, and total surplus.b. Kawmin then opens the market to trade. Drawanother graph to describe the new situation inthe jelly bean market.

Assume the United States is an importer of televisionsand there are no trade restrictions. U.S. consumersbuy 1 million televisions per year, of which 400,000 areproduced domestically and 600,000 are imported.a. Suppose that a technological advance amongJapanese television manufacturers causes theworld price of televisions to fall by $100. Draw agraph to show how this change affects the welfareof U.S. consumers and U.S. producers and how itaffects total surplus in the United States.b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.2 milliontelevisions, of which 200,000 are produced domesticallyand 1 million are imported.
