Question 2 [Soalan 2] The following graph shows the effect of free trade on the domestic quantities demanded and supplied of good A in a small nation. [Graf berikut menunjukkan kesan perdagangan bebas terhadap kuantiti diminta dan ditawarkan bagi barang A dalam sebuah negara yang kecil.] P (RM) , 800 0. Q (units) 1,000 Suppose that under free trade, the country imports 1,500 units of good A, and the world price is RM450, calculate how many units of good A the country consumes.

Predict what each of the following events would do to the terms of trade of the importing country and the exporting country, other things being equal. a. A blight destroys a large part of the coffee beans produced in the world. There will be favourable change in the terms of trade of coffee exporters, unfavourable change for coffee importers. b. The Koreans cut the price of the steel they sell to Canada. There will be favourable change in the terms of trade for Canada and unfavourable change in the terms of trade for Korea. c. General inflation of 4 percent occurs around the world. There will be unpredictable change in the terms of trade for the importing country and unpredictable change in the terms of trade for the exporting country. d. Violation of OPEC output quotas leads to a sharp fall in the price of oil. There will be change in terms of trade for oil exporters, and change in terms of trade for oil importers. unpredictable unfavourable favourable
Which of the following statements about helping poor countries are true? a) Opening our markets to their trade is by far a more effective way to help them that giving them foreign aid? b) Opening our markets to their trade not only doesn't cost us, it provides a net benefit to our economy as well c) We should always give as much foreign aid as we can directly to their governments d) If the "recipient" country does not have a responsible government or much in the way of civil society, foreign aid should be limited to things such as fighting disease, aid that is provided directly to the people, such as microfinance or infrastructure project provided directly avoiding passing funds through the "recipient" country governments, and aid conditional on reforms to improvements governance. e) We should protect our domestic industries against the lower wages of the poorer countries, so we may giv them foreign aid but should never open our markets to them.
There are two countries Home and Foreign. Home has 1,200 units of labor available. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. The unit labor requirement in apple production is 3, while in banana production it is 2. Foreign has a labor force of 800. Foreign's unit labor requirement in apple production is 5, while in banana production it is 1. Suppose world relative demand takes the following form: Demand for apples/demand for bananas = price of bananas/price of apples a-b. On the graph to the right: 1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw the relative demand curve. Label the curve RD. 2) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the equilibrium relative price of apples. Label this point EQ. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. 2 Relative price of apples Pa/Pb 0 035 0.75 05 Relative quantity of apples RS
True or False. When we adjust income per capita based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), differences in income per capita between rich and poor countries tend to decrease because non-traded goods are cheaper in poorer countries.
Bangladesh eyes investment gain as Japanese firms exit China Japan incentivizing its companies to shift manufacturing facilities out of China and adding Bangladesh to a list of preferred destinations for relocating the factories may give the South Asian nation’s economy a boost.“As the pandemic started in China, Japanese companies needed to diversify” their supply chains further, Naoki Ito, the Japanese ambassador to Bangladesh, said in an interview. “This will provide an opportunity for Bangladesh.”The island nation’s nudge to relocate companies comes at a time when a Special Economic Zone is in the making in Bangladesh to lure Japanese firms’ production facilities. The industrial zone sprawling on 1,000 acres in the Araihazar subdistrict, 32 kilometers away (about 20 miles) from the nation’s capital Dhaka, is expected to bring in $20 billion in Japanese investments, according to the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority.Japanese manufacturers have already been seeking lower labor costs…
From an economic point of view, India and China are somewhat similar: Both are huge, low-wage countries, probably with similar patterns of comparative advantage, which until recently were relatively closed to international trade. China was the first to open up. Now that India is also opening up to world trade, how would you expect this to affect the welfare of China? Of the United States? (Hint: Think of adding a new economy identical to that of China to the world economy.) A. From China's perspective, the world relative supply curve will shift to the left. This shift will improve China's terms of trade. The U.S. purchases of Chinese exports will hurt the U.S. by decreasing the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. B. From China's perspective, the world relative supply curve will shift to the right. This shift will worsen China's terms of trade. The U.S. purchase of Chinese exports will benefit the U.S. by increasing the relative price of goods that the U.S. exports. C. From…
If the United States has been selling more goods in the international market than it has been buying, this could be for all the following reasons except: foreign goods are often much cheaper The value of the U.S. dollar has fallen substantially The quality of foreign products is similar to that of U.S. products The values of foreign currencies are rising relative to that of the U.S. dollar Elroy Hatchard is the sole proprietor of a gift shop in a small shopping center.

Each worker in Country B can produce 3 units of wine and 5 units of fabric in a year. a) Which country should import wine?

The small happy Kingdom of Pollyanna does not trade with the rest of the world, but uses U.S dollars for its currency. Its domestic price of tofu is $1 per pound and the Kingdom produces and consumes 5 tons of tofu. The world price of tofu is just $0.50 per pound. At this price, the Kingdom would produce only 2 tons of tofu and would consume 8 tons of tofu, and thus have to import 6 tons of tofu. What is the deadweight loss in the tofu market associated with the Kingdom staying closed to trade? (Note: 1 ton = 2000 lbs.)
