Question 2 Suppose that the demand for rice in Japan is given by the function Q = 100-p and the domestic supply is Q = p. Suppose that the inverse world supply function is p = 30. (a) What would be the change in domestic producer surplus if imported rice is banned? (b) What would be the change in consumer surplus if a $5 tariff is imposed on imported rice? (c) What would be the change in imports if a $5 tariff is imposed on imported rice?

Q65 If Canada can produce both cannabis and soybeans more efficiently, that is, with smaller absolute amounts of resources, than Brazil, then: Multiple Choice Brazil should impose tariffs. then there is no possible basis for mutually advantageous specialization and trade between Canada and Brazil. we can conclude that Canada is an industrially advanced economy and Brazil is a developing economy. it will necessarily be advantageous for Brazil to import both cannabis and soybeans from Canada. mutually advantageous specialization and trade between Canada and Brazil may still be possible.

A small country’s demand curve is given by Q=36-2P and its supply curve is given by Q=4P-12. Assume the world is currently in free trade and that the price under free trade is $4. What is the prohibitive specific import tariff for this economy (i.e. the tariff that would reduce net exports to zero)?Group of answer choices a.6 b.5 c.4 d.8
< Question 73 of 75 The automobile industry in Macroland successfully lobbies for import quotas that result in automobile prices that are $1,000 higher than before the quotas. Increased sales of automobiles produced in Macroland protect the jobs of 20,000 automobile workers. What is an additional consequence of the quotas that is not as attractive for Macroland's economy? Automobile producers in other countries will reduce the price of their cars to offset the higher prices required by the quotas. O Each of Macroland's citizens who buys a car will have $1,000 less to spend on other products, leading to reduced sales and fewer jobs in other industries. The government will lose tax revenue. Consumers will buy more cars than before, pushing the automobile market out of equilibrium.
P F Q2. Suppose a large country A initially imposes a tariff on its steel imports from the rest of the world. Use a domestic-market graph to: (a) show the effect of eliminating tariffs on 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 the tariff elimination; Your answer:
Kazakhstan is an apple producer, as well as an importer of apples. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for apples, where SK is the supply curve and Dk is the demand curve. The free trade world price of apples (Pw) is $200 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of apples to 200,000 tons. The world price of apples 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 apples with a quota of 200,000 apples.

The following figure illustrates the tomato market for Mexico, assumed to be a "small" country that is unable t to affect the world price. Suppose the world price of tomato is given and constant at $100 per ton. SM is the domestic supply and DM is the domestic demand for Mexico. Now suppose the Mexican government provides production subsidy of $200 per ton to its tomato producers. SM (with subsidy) is Mexico's supply schedule with production subsidy. Price ($) 800 300 100 0 2 8 SM 20 SM (with subsidy) World price DM Tons of Tomatoes Refer to the figure above. As a result of the production subsidy, the deadweight loss to Mexico equals [Select]
The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for soybeans in Guatemala. The world price (Pw ) of soybeans is $540 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country doès not affect the world price of soybeans and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in soybeans. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 900 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 855 810 765 720 675 630 585 Pw 540 495 450 40 80 120 160 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Tons of soybeans) PRICE (Dollars per ton)
