In the previous graph, use the green area (triangle symbol) to shade the area that represents the effect of the quota on domestic producer surplus (PS) relative to domestic producer surplus under free trade. Use the tan quadrilateral (dash symbols) to shade the area that represents the quota rents. Finally, use the black areas (plus symbol) to indicate the deadweight loss (DWL) resulting from the quota's consumption and protective effect. The equivalent import tariff for Kazakhstan's grape import quota is $ per ton of grapes. If Kazakhstan's government auctions off the quota licenses in a well-organized, competitive auction, Kazakhstan experiences a deadweight loss of . (Hint: Select a shaded region to see its area. Be sure to adjust for the units on the quantity axis.) $

Transcribed Image Text: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 120,000 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 120,000 grapes.
