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. Country C imposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. Analyse the effects of the consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and deadweight loss in the Country C steel market with the tariff. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries.

Assume aggregate demand for US wheat equals domestic demand plus export demand. Those demand functions are a function of wheat price in dollars/bushel (P) and are listed below: QDOMESTIC = 1200-50P QEXPORT = 780-60P Aggregate demand for US wheat will equal 1980-110P when OP >13 OP < 20 P13 at any price

The market for pencils has a domestic demand equation P=20−0.5Q�=20−0.5�, and a domestic supply equation P=5+Q�=5+�, where quantity is measured in thousands. The world supply equation for pencils is PW=10��=10. If trade is allowed, what is the resulting equilibrium price and quantity?
The US demand curve for transporting freight by truck is а° - 580B - 60в "Р, where B denotes billion. Here, P is the price to transport a standard shipping container one mile, and quantity Q is the number of shipping-container-miles transported in a year. The marginal cost of transport is $1/mile (i.e., fuel and driver costs). Each truck can drive up to a maximum of 100,000 miles/year. Assume each truck carries one shipping container. The annual fixed cost of operating a truck is $200,000. Consequently, the average cost of a truck that drives q miles a year is ($200,000/q) +$1. All trucks have the same costs. There are no barriers to setting up a new trucking firm and/or acquiring additional trucks, and there are large numbers of people capable of running a trucking firm. Part (a) Sketch average and marginal costs for a truck, as a function of miles driven. Part (b) (i) (ii) (ii) (iv) (v) What is the price-per-mile of transporting freight by truck? How many miles does the combined US…

The total/aggregate market demand for rubber erasers can be segmented into two components. The first component is the demand for rubber erasers by art students. This demand is given by Qa=10,000-250P. The second component is the demand for rubber erasers by all other purchasers. This demand is given by Qo=15000-500P. a) Draw the demand curve for art students, the demand curve for other purchasers and the aggregate demand curve b) Derive the algebraic expression for the aggregate demand curve. c) If the equilibrium price is $20, determine the consumer surplus for art students.
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 market for pencils has a domestic demand equation P=20−0.5Q�=20−0.5�, and a domestic supply equation P=5+Q�=5+�, where quantity is measured in thousands. The world supply equation for pencils is PW=10��=10. The domestic government decides to implement a tariff of $10 per thousand pencils. As a result of the tariff, the new domestic price of pencils is
