The following graph shows the domestic demand for and supply of lemons in Panama. The world price (Pw) of lemons is $245 per ton and is displayedas a horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that all countries under consideration are small, that is, the amount demanded by any onecountry does not affect the world price of lemons and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade inlemons. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place.PRICE (Dollars per ton)485455425395365335305275245215185Domestic DemandAI10 10 20Domestic Supply30 4050 6070QUANTITY (Tons of lemons)I1A tariff set at this level would raise $Pw80 90 100(?)If Panama is open to international trade in lemons without any restrictions, it will importSuppose the Panamanian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 40 tons of lemons to help domestic producers.

Q3: Using a domestic-market demand- and supply-curve graph, show the impact of tariff on a small country's import price, domestic demand, domestic supply, import quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and total welfare; Is the country unambiguously worse off as a result of the tariff? In the same graph, show how to achieve the same import quantity with an import quota; When would the tariff and the import quota lead to the same amount of welfare change? How will the answer to (a) and (b) change if the country uses a subsidy that is equivalent to the tariff rate to help domestic producers? How would the answers to (a) and (b) change for a large country? Your answer:
. 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.
The effect of imposing a tariff on a specific imported good is to the domestic price of the good and the domestic production of the good. Select one: a. increase; increase b. decrease; increase c. decrease; decrease d. decrease; to leave unaffected.
5. Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for soybeans in Guatemala. Guatemala is open to international trade of soybeans without any restrictions. The world price (Pw) of soybeans is $525 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout this problem, 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. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. PRICE (Dollars per ton) 840 805 770 735 700 665 630 595 560 525 490…

Carefully explain how the imposition of a tariff is different for a large country (that can affect the world price) than a small country. Show your work graphically and explain in words.
The cost of producing cars in Canada is $30,000, while the cost of producing cars in Mexico is $22,000, while in the U.S. it costs $18,000. Canada currently imposes a 50% tariff on all automobile imports. a) If Canada enters into a customs union with Mexico, will this lead to trade diversion or trade creation? b) If the tariff rate was originally 100%, would Canada entering into a customs union with Mexico lead to trade diversion or trade creation? c) If the tariff rate was originally 100%, and the cost of producing cars in the U.S. was $12,000, would Canada entering into a customs union with Mexico lead to trade diversion or trade creation?
