In the figure given below AB is the production-possibility curve of Canada. In the absence of trade, the price ratio is 1 bushel of wheat/bale of cotton as shown by the line PQ. The international price ratio is 0.25 bushels of wheat/bale of cotton as shown by the line RS. I and l2 are the pre-trade and the post trade community indifference curves of Canada respectively (You can ignore these). In autarky, Canada consumes at C0 and consumes at C1 after specialization and trade. After Canada engages in free trade, it will import: Wheat (bushels) P.

Consider the domestic steel market. Under autarky, the domestic equilibrium is such that 8 million pounds of steel are produced and sold at a price of $12 per pound. International producers, generally, are able to produce at a lower cost than domestic producers. Under an open trade policy, the world price of $6 enters the domestic market as an exogenous variable. For the questions below, assume that the domestic market is beginning in the equilibrium that exists under an open trade policy and consider the impact of a $3 per pound tariff on imported steel. What is the gain in producer surplus from the tariff? $ million. (round your answer to two decimal palces) What import quota, Q, would produce the same gain in producer surplus as the tariff?

Now suppose that if Zimbabwe uses all of its resources, it can produce 50,000 tons of metal ores or 100,000 delivery trucks (trading off at a constant rate). Suppose that if South Africa uses all of its resources, it can produce 20,000 tons of metal ores or 80,000 delivery trucks (trading off at a constant rate). What is the direction of trade (who exports what to whom)? Be sure to give the opportunity costs of production of both goods for both countries. What is one potential price of metal ores in terms of trucks at which both Zimbabwe and South Africa would benefit from trade? Rank the autarkic prices and the world price of metal ores from lowest to highest.
