The United States and Canada have the production possibilities curves shown above. It is determined that the United States has the comparative advantage in peanuts. Will both nations gain from trade if the terms of trade that are offered are 1 Peanut= 3 Corn? Why or why not? Show your work.
Assume that Trinbago is a small country that produces wine and motor vehicles, where motorvehicles are capital intensive. Trinbago is also capital intensive, and the standard Heckscher -Ohlin(H-O) assumptions hold. The other country in the model is Vincyland.Could you assist with 2 graphs illustrating 1. The Hecksher Ohlin model based on the above this should show what the theory of comparative advantage stipulates 2. What trade pattern would occur if the Leontief Paradox holds how will this look graphically.

After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of peas. million pounds of lentils and million pounds of Suppose that Shenandoah and Denali agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 20 million pounds of peas for 20 million pounds of lentils. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Shenandoah and Denali. The following graph shows the same PPF for Shenandoah…

Suppose a large country A initially imposed a tariff on its imports and is now considering removing its tariff. Use a domestic-market graph to a) show the effect of country A’s tariff removal on the world’s price, country A’s import price, import quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue. b) identify country A’s net welfare change as a result of its tariff removal. Is country A unambiguously better off? c) Use a different graph to show how foreign producers will be affected by country A’s tariff removal? d) What factor determines the level of optimal tariff for country A? Please make sure to graph fpr both parts "a" and "c"

Kazakhstan is a grape producer, as well as an importer of grapes. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for grapes, where SK is the supply curve and DK is the demand curve. The free trade world price of grapes (Pw) is $800 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of grapes to 60,000 tons. The world price of grapes is not affected by the quota. Analyze the effects of the quota on Kazakhstan's welfare. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw the Kazakhstan's supply curve including the quota Sk+Q. (Hint: Draw this as a straight line even though this curve should be equivalent to the domestic supply curve below the world price.) Then use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the new price of grapes with a quota of 60,000 grapes.

Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is Pw =$250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS).

Now suppose the Kenyan government decides to impose a tariff of $60 on each imported ton of wheat. After the tariff, the price Kenyan consumers pay for a ton of wheat is s and Kenya will import tons of…
