The following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Dc is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price ofwheat. 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 thatCanada 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. Assumethat 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) toindicate the price of wheat in Canada and the quantity demanded at that price. Finally, use the tan point (dash symbol) to indicate the price of wheatreceived by Canadian producers with the subsidy and the quantity of wheat they will supply at that price.PRICE (Dollars per ton)400360320280240200160120804000Dc200 400PWSc600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000QUANTITY (Tons)PW+ Subsidy+Qin CanadaQin CanadaLoss in CSGain in PS Export subsidies result in a welfare loss to the home country due to the protective and consumption effects.

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.

The following graph shows the domestic market for oil in the United States, where SDSD is the domestic supply curve, and DDDD is the domestic demand curve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the world price of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of SD+WSD+W, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreign producers together offer domestic consumers. In this case, the free-trade equilibrium (black plus) occurs at a price of $240 per barrel of oil and a quantity of 9 million barrels. At this price, the United States imports 6 million barrels of oil. Suppose the U.S. government imposes a $60-per-barrel tariff on oil imports.
Assume that Canada is an importer of televisions and that there are no trade restrictions. Canadian consumers buy 1.2 million televisions per year, of which 600,000 are produced domestically and 600,000 are imported. Suppose that a technological advance among Japanese television manufacturers causes the world price to fall $800 to $700. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Canadian consumers and Canadian producers and how it affects total surplus in Canada. Label the diagram carefully to show all the areas using letters of alphabets. (Do not shade the areas). After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.4 million televisions, of which 400,000 are produced domestically and 1 million are imported. Calculate the change (this will be only the area either gained or lost by consumers and producers) in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus due to price reduction. Provide numerical answers by calculating the area of change in surplus due to fall in…
