Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically 80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linear schedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Q: Summarise and analyse the quantity of steel produced, consumed and imported in Country C. Analyse and discuss the welfare gain from trade in Country C. Show your answers of the steel market with a proper diagram.

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 large economy is looking to impose tariffs against one its trading partners. Of the key industries targeted, the proposed tariff on imported steel is 40%, and the proposed tariff on imported wheat is 75%. Assuming the levels of these tariffs are determined so as to maximize home welfare, which industry has a larger elasticity of export supply? Group of answer choices More information is needed The elasticities are identical between the two industries Steel Wheat
Q2 At the price of $5.50 per tonne, the annual Canada-wide supply and demand for corn are 2.4 and 2.9 kilotonnes, respectively. When the price rises to $7.30, the supply increases to 2.8 kilotonnes while the demand decreases to 2.4 kilotonnes. (Note that the units for quantities will be in kilotonnes DO NOT convert them to tonnes.) (Q2 a) Assuming that the price (per tpnne) is a linear function of the quantity (in q kilotonnes) supplied, determine the supply function p = f(q). State clearly the appropriate model to use and show all your work for finding the function. (Q2 b) Assuming that the price (per tpnne) is a linear function of the quantity (in q kilotonnes) demanded, determine the demand function p = f(q). State clearly the appropriate model to use and show all your work for finding the function. ( Q2 c) Find the equilibrium point and the market clearing price. Show all your work. (Q2 d) Sketch the supply and demand functions on the same graph clearly indicating the equilibrium…

The government of canada recently signed a new preferential trade agreement and has agreed to pay subsidies to poultry farmers to compensate for increased competition they may face from imports. You are employed as an analyst. In order to determine the dollar value of compensation you are required to estimate how the Canadian price of poultry and the quantity of imported poultry will change as a result of this new trade agreement. Canada is a small importing country in the world market for poultry. Provided is the following information about the Canadian poultry market: 1.The world price of poultry is $5 2.The Canadian poultry market is currently (before new trade agreement) protected by a tariff rate quota (TRQ) of the following format: -an in-quota tariff is $1/unit -the import quota volume is 100 units -the over-quota tariff is $10/unit 3.An excess demand (ED) for imports function for poultry has been estimated as P = 28 - 0.14Q a)Draw the diagram for imports in this market, and…

Due to fear about mad cow disease, Japan stopped importing animal feed from Britain in 1996, beef imports and processed beef products from 18 countries including EU members starting in 2001, and similar imports from Canada and the United States in 2003. After U.S. beef imports were banned, McDonald’s Japan and other Japanese importers replaced much of the banned U.S. beef with Australian beef, causing an export boom for Australia (“China Bans U.S. Beef,” cnn.com, December 24, 2003; “Beef Producers Are on the Lookout for Extra Demand,” abc.net.au, June 13, 2005). Use supply and demand curves to show the impact of these events on the domestic Australian beef market.
-0.06 The short-term demand for crude oil in Country A in 2008 can be approximated by q = f(p) = 1,952,082p where P represents the price of crude oil in dollars per barrel and q represents the per capita consumption of crude oil. Calculate and interpret the elasticity of demand when the price is $62 per barrel. The elasticity of demand for oil is (Type an integer or a decimal.)

Hula Products has reintroduced the hula hoop to the world and faces a growing demand for its product in two distinct markets: the United States and Europe. Demand in these markets is: PU = 20 - .1QU and PE = 10 - .05QE., where all quantities are expressed in thousands of units (i.e. QU = 50 means 50 thousand units). Hula can produce hoops at no cost. The maximum Hula can produce is 80 thousand hoops. How many should be sent to Europe (QE)? Enter as a value (answer should be between zero and 80).
