Q4. The supply S and demand D for sugar in US are:S = 3500 + 6.2PD = 10500 – 3.8Pwhere P is the price of sugar (in tons) and S and D are in thousand tons. The world price is 300$/ton. Assume that the US is a small country in the sugar market.(a) If there was free trade, how much sugar would the United States import from the rest of theworld? (b) The US puts a quota limiting imports of sugar to 2000 thousand tons. What is the domesticprice that prevail under this quota. What ad-valorem tariff would have led to the same levelof 2000 thousand tons of imports.(c) Draw a graph showing the sugar market in the US. Assume that the import licenses are freelydistributed to the importers. How much have consumer surplus and producer surplus changedcompared to the free trade? What is the net gain/cost to government? What is the net socialgain/loss of this intervention?(d) Knowing that there are about 12.000 workers in the sugar industry, what is the gain per workerfor the sugar industry? With 275 million customers in the US, what is the cost of the policy percustomer? Explain briefly the political economy of this policy, that is why it is implementeddespite its inefficiency.

If the United States is currently importing 14 million barrels per day at a world price of $4.00 per unit (the entire amount consumed), what is the effect on imports of a tax equal to $4.00 per unit? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, help determine the quantity of U.S. crude oil imports after the $4.00 per-unit tax by drawing a horizontal line at the price paid by U.S. consumers. Label this line + Tax'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, determine quantity demanded at the price paid by U.S. consumers after the imposition of the import tax. Label this line 'Pop'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, determine quantity supplied at the price paid by U.S. consumers after the imposition of the import tax. Label this line "Pas". Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. The amount of imports after the $4.00 per-unit tax is million barrels per day. Before the tax, domestic producers supplied 0 barrels of crude oil. They now supply million barrels Price per barrel…
