If Zambia is open to international trade in soybeans without any restrictions, it will import tons of soybeans. Suppose the Zambian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 200 tons of soybeans to help domestic producers. A tariff of $ per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise S in revenue for the Zambian government. 4. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for soybeans in Zambia. The world price (Pw) of soybeans is $530 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of soybeans and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in soybeans. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 980 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 930 880 830 780 730 680 630 580 P. 530 480 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 QUANTITY (Tons of soybeans) PRICE (Dollars per ton)

4. A graphical comparison of tariffs and quotas Alagir and Ertil are small countries that protect their economic growth from rapidly advancing globalization by limiting the import of rugs to 20 million. To this end, each country imposes a different type of trade barrier when the world price (Pw) is $3,000. In Alagir, the government decides to impose a tariff of $2,000 per rug; in Ertil, the government implements a quota of 20 million rugs. Assume that Alagir and Ertil have identical domestic demand (Do) and supply (S) curves for rugs as shown on the following graph. Under these conditions, the price of rugs is $5,000 per rug in each country.

5. Agricultural export subsidies in a small nation The following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Do is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price of wheat. Assume that Canada is a relatively small producer of wheat, so changes in its output do not affect the world price of wheat. Also assume that Canada is currently open to free trade, and domestic consumers are able to purchase wheat at the world price with negligible transportation costs. Suppose a subsidy of $80 per ton is granted to exporters in Canada, allowing them to sell their products abroad at prices below their costs. Assume that trade restrictions are also put in place in order to prevent domestic consumers from buying wheat abroad at the world price. Use the grey line (star symbols) to indicate the world price of wheat plus the subsidy on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the price of wheat in Canada and the quantity demanded at that…

Domestic demand for fidget spinners in the domestic economy is characterized by the equation P=100−2Q, domestic supply is characterized by the equation Q=P−10, and the world price is equal to 60. Then the export tariff of 10 per unit will a) lead to a decrease in the domestic price by 10 b) be equivalent to an export subsidy of 10 per unit c) increase domestic welfare d) decrease domestic exports by 10
Consider a large country with the following inverse demand and supply functions of golf clubs: P = 100 - Q. P = 20 + Q. The world price of golf clubs is 80. This country's government decided to support domestic golf club producers and introduced an export subsidy of 20, which led to a decrease in the world price to 70 per club. The world's deadweight loss, associated with this subsidy is then equal to
