2. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Guatemala is open to free trade in the world market for oranges. Since Guatemala is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply of oranges in Guatemala have no impact on the world price. The following graph shows the domestic market for oranges in Guatemala. The world price of a ton of oranges is Pw = $350. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS).

3. Gains from trade Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Everglades and Denali. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce shorts, almonds, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of shorts or almonds that can be produced by one hour of labor. Country Shorts Almonds (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) Everglades 5 20 Denali 8 16 Suppose that initially Denali uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce shorts and 3 million hours per week to produce almonds, while Everglades uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce shorts and 1 million hours per week to produce almonds. As a result, Everglades produces 15 million pairs of shorts and 20 million pounds of almonds, and Denali produces 8 million pairs of shorts and 48 million pounds of almonds. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of…
