tons of maize. (Note: Be sure to enter the full
value for your answer, accounting for the horizontal axis units.)
Suppose the Panamanian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 20,000 tons of maize to help domestic producers. A tariff of $
per
ton will achieve this.
A tariff set at this level would raise $
in revenue for the Panamanian government.

Transcribed Image Text:The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Panama. Panama is open to international trade of maize without any
restrictions. The world price (Pw) of maize is $270 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 maize and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated
with international trade in maize. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or
importing takes place.
