1. Wheat and the welfare consequences of trade:a. [Basic static analysis of trade] Construct a simple model of the (wholesale) market for wheatglobally, and in Australia. Provide a brief but clear explanation to accompany yourdiagrams, and reflect on what access to international trade means for Australian farmers,food manufacturers (e.g. bakeries) and food consumers (i.e. households). b. [Extended dynamic analysis] The market for wheat is affected by the recent unrest inUkraine (“Ukraine war could send...”, 2022). Wheat prices are reported to have increased55 per cent even before the invasion, just based on fears of sanctions and disruptedsupply, as Russia and Ukraine account for a large portion of global wheat supply. Russiais also a key supplier of fertilisers used by Australian farmers. How can we expect this toaffect Australian wheat producers? What flow-on effects might we expect to see in thewider Australian economy? 2. Petrol and the welfare consequences of taxes:a. [Basic…
4. Tariffs 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). 490 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 460 CS 430 400 370 PS 340 310 280 250 220 190 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Thousands of tons of wheat) If Kenya allows international trade in the market for wheat, it will import tons of wheat. 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 $ and Kenya will import tons…

3. Gains from trade Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Sequoia and Glacier. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per day that can be used to produce pistachios, chinos, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of pistachios or chinos that can be produced by one hour of labor. Pistachios Chinos Country (Pounds per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Sequoia Glacier 5 8 20 16 Suppose that initially Glacier uses 1 million hours of labor per day to produce pistachios and 3 million hours per day to produce chinos, while Sequoia uses 3 million hours of labor per day to produce pistachios and 1 million hours per day to produce chinos. As a result, Sequoia produces 15 million pounds of pistachios and 20 million pairs of chinos, and Glacier produces 8 million pounds of pistachios and 48 million pairs of chinos. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two…

The world price of this product is $6. If this particular market is open to international trade, but there is a tariff of $6 per unit imposed, then the domestic producers will earn $240, the total revenue (after tariff) going to foreign producers would be $240, and the tariff revenue going to the government would be $40 $600, and there will be no imports and no tariff revenue. $120, the total revenue (after tariff) going to foreign producers would be $120, and the tariff revenue going to the government would be $80 O $400, the total revenue (after tariff) going to foreign producers would be $120, and the tariff revenue going to the government would be $40

If the world price for a ton of steel is $200 per ton, how much steel does the United States import? Suppose the United States imposes a tariff of $400 per ton of steel. With this tariff, how much steel does the United States import? If it is possible to calculate the amount of the deadweight loss from the $400 per ton tariff, what is the amount? If it is not possible, explain why it is not possible to calculate it. Next suppose the United States imposes a tariff of only $200 per ton of steel. With this tariff, how much steel does the United States import? How much revenue does the government collect from this tariff? Finally, suppose that instead of a tariff the United States imposes a quota of 2 million tons of steel per year. Illustrate how the market changes with this quota. With the quota, what is the price of steel in the…
