The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for soybeans in Honduras. The world price (Pw) of soybeans is $535 per ton and isrepresented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the worldprice of soybeans and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in soybeans. Also, assume that domesticsuppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place.Domestic DemandDomestic Supply/75CUANTITY (Tone of soytearsFocusD 國nere to searchTX器投孔目===|m。T No Spac..

. The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S. consumers is given by the demand curve Qd = 150 − 10P, where Qd is quantity (in millions of pounds) and P is the market price per pound of coffee. Suppose the domestic supply is Qs = 10P −50. The U.S. coffee market is competitive. Suppose that the world price of coffee is $6. Congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound. (a) Find the producer and consumer surplus if there was no trade. (b) Calculate the consumer and producer surplus after we engage in free trade. (c) If the tariff is imposed calculate the changes to consumer and producer surplus. (d) Other than lower prices, provide two benefits that can occur as a result of free trade.

Which of the following arguments might be legitimate reasons for limiting imports? a) Imports destroy jobs in the import-copeting industry so we should protect this industry to save jobs. b) We need to impose tariffs fo stop our industries moving their operations and jobs to lob wage countries c) if the cost of shifting resources from import-competing industries are high enough so that together with the other transaction costs they exceed the gains from trade, we should slow down the imports. d) Low income countries' ability to buy our goods is so much less that our ability to buy theirs, that in order to have balanced trade, we should impose some restrictions of imports from such low income countries. e) Some countries f) Some foreign producers sell below their costs in order to monopolize the market so they can raise prices to monopoly levels and fleece our cosumers, so we should impose restrictions specific to such…
