Steel is produced only in the US and the rest of the world (ROW). The inverse demand and supply in the US are p = 110 - Q9 and p = 20 + Qi, while in the ROw, they are p = 70 - Q% and p = QR. All quantities are in millions of tons and all prices are in dollars per ton. Since steel is produced more cheaply in the ROW, the US imports it from the ROW under international trade. At any price, p, the imports of the US, QM, is the excess demand for steel given by the difference between the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied domestically in the US: QM = Q8 - Qi. Similarly, the exports of the ROW, QE, is the excess supply of steel given by the difference between how much they produce and how much they demand: QE = Q2 - Qg.

The domestic demand (Qpp) for wheat in the United States is estimated to be Q00 1430-55P. where the quantity of wheat is measured in millions of bushels per year. Suppose China also demands U.S. wheat (Qoc) and that its demand is given by Qọc =2100 -100P What is the total demand for U.S. wheat, assuming the only two sources of demand are domestic and Chinese? The total demand for U.S. wheat is O A. Qp 1430-55P for all P. O B. Qp =3530- 155P for P S $26 and Qp =2100-100P for P> $26. OC. Qp = 3530 - 155P for Ps $21 and Qp =2100 - 100P for P> $21. O D.

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…
With the recent war between Russia and Ukraine, the production and thus exports of wheat have declined (which increased the price of such exports), because Ukraine is the major producer and exporter of the same.

Despite the continued influx of imported pork products that were slapped with lower tariffs, pork prices in the market are expected to remain elevated and even climb further as the holiday season nears. Price monitoring reports from the Department of Agriculture (DA) showed that as of Nov. 19, a kilo of pork ham and pork belly were sold for P340 and P360, respectively, up from P320 and P350 a kilo at the start of the month. Given that demand for pork traditionally picks up during the Christmas holidays, prices may rise even further.Earlier this year, President Duterte issued twin policies that lowered pork import tariffs and increased the allowable import volume. The policies would be in effect until May next year. what is the effect of this to the economy? is it positive or negative?
Consider the markets for cell phones and landline telephone service in France. Presume that when the average income of residents of Lyon is 27,500€ per year, the quantity demanded of landline telephone service is 6,250 and the quantity demanded of an unlimited cell phone is 14,000. When the price of unlimited mobile service increases from 50€ to 60€ per month, the quantity demanded of landline service decreases to 5,500. Furthermore, presume that when the average income increases to 30,000€, the quantity demanded of unlimited mobile service increases to 16,500. a) According to the given information, what type of good is unlimited mobile telephone service? How do you know? Briefly explain.
