Consider the global market for tin represented by Figure 7.4. Initially equilibrium is at point A with a market price of $3.50 per pound and 50,000 pounds. In order to keep tin price relatively stable an International Tin Agreement has set a price floor of $3.27 and a ceiling of $4.02. As the demand for tin increases to D1 how will the buffer-stock manager need to respond? Select one: a. buy 10,000 pounds of tin b. buy 20,000 pounds of tin c. sell 10,000 pounds of tin d. sell 20, 000 pounds of tin

The domestic demand and supply for sugar are, respectively, Qd = 60,000 − 400P and QSD = 5,000 + 200P. The foreign supply is QSF = 40,000 + 200P. What is the total supply of sugar in the domestic market? Q = 45,000 + 400P. Q = 5,000 + 200P. Q = 35,000 + 200P. Q = 55,000 + 400P.

a) ** Let’s assume the domestic demand and supply functions for onions in Australia was given by: QD = 165 – 25P QS = 50P – 30 Sketch a basic diagram of the Australian market for onions, with calculated domestic equilibrium price and quantity, and label axis intercepts. b) ** Let’s say the onion growers’ association of Australia is concerned about the price of onions being unusually low, forcing farmers to move into other crops – at the detriment of future onion production. They lobby the government to guarantee a minimum price of $3.00 per kg. Show how this would affect the market for onions (i.e. conduct a full welfare analysis). c) *** What would happen if the government is forced to buy up any surplus crops that might arise from this? What would be the effect of this on the estimated welfare implications of this policy? Note: For this analysis, you would get closer to the true values by considering quantities to be in thousands of tonnes, or millions of kgs, you’d get…
