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?

A small country imports salt. With free trade at the world price of $10 per pound, the country's national market is as follows: Domestic production: 100 million pounds per year Domestic consumption: 200 million pounds per year The country's government now decides to impose a $3 tariff per pound that limits salt imports to 40 million pounds per year. With the tariff in effect, the domestic production increases to 130 million pounds per year. Answer the following 3 questions according to this information. How much is the domestic producers gain or loss from the quota? How much is the domestic consumers' gain or loss after tariff? What is the government revenue from tariff?
Zenobia is a small country that takes the world price of barley as given. Its domestic supply and demand for barley are given by: D = 60 – 4P S = 4P – 12 7 euro for every bushel of barley Suppose the Zenobian government applies an import quota that limits imports to 12 bushels. a) Determine the quantity demanded, quantity supplied, and new domestic price with the quota. b) Calculate the quota rent. c) Assuming that quota licenses are allocated to domestic producers, what is the net effect of the quota on Zenobia's welfare? d) Assuming that quota rents are earned by foreign exporters, what is the net effect of the quota on Zenobia's welfare?
Suppose that the world price for a good is 60 and the domestic demand-and-supply curves are given by the following equations: Demand: P = 100 – 4Q %3D Supply: P = 10 + 5Q %3D If a tariff of 20 percent is imposed, by how much do consumption and domestic production change?

Consider the case of the following large country (all prices are measured in euros, and quantities are measured in single units): – Domestic demand curve: P = 3600 –3Q – Domestic supply curve: P = 2Q – World free trade price of imports = 140 euros per unit – When the tariff is introduced, domestic prices rise by exactly one third of the amount of the tariff. Calculate the following. Also show your workouts, draw a diagram depicting the importing country market under free trade and with a tariff. With a 30 euro specific tariff: The change in consumers' surplus going from free trade to the tariff, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The change in producers' surplus going from free trade to the tariff, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The amount of tariff revenue, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The change…
The cost of producing cars in Canada is $30,000, while the cost of producing cars in Mexico is $22,000, while in the U.S. it costs $18,000. Canada currently imposes a 50% tariff on all automobile imports. a) If Canada enters into a customs union with Mexico, will this lead to trade diversion or trade creation? b) If the tariff rate was originally 100%, would Canada entering into a customs union with Mexico lead to trade diversion or trade creation? c) If the tariff rate was originally 100%, and the cost of producing cars in the U.S. was $12,000, would Canada entering into a customs union with Mexico lead to trade diversion or trade creation?
This assignment assumes demand and supply schedules for widgets P=120-3Qd and P = 40 +2QS Please record your answers without dollar signs. Now suppose this country can purchase all the widgets it wants at a world price of P = 48. When the country opens up to trade, the price that will prevail in this marketplace will be the world price, P= 48. This assumption applies for the remainder of the questions. Consumer Surplus for buyers (consumers) in this country will now equal QUESTION 9 Producer Surplus for sellers in this country will now equal QUESTION 10 Total Consumer and Producer Surplus will be dollars. dollars dollars

[India is the world’s largest consumer of sugar. Assume the world price for sugar is $750 per ton.] [Assume India currently has a tariff of $50 per ton on sugar and imports 7 million tons of sugar. Show this situation in a graph. Label the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied domestically and imports clearly on a graph. Explain your graph in 3-4 sentences. How to draw the graph?
The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Burundi. The world price (Pw) of maize is $270 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of maize and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in maize. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 450 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 430 410 390 370 350 330 310 290 P 270 250 40 80 120 180 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Burundi is open to international trade in maize without any restrictions, it will import tons of maize. Suppose the Burundian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 160 tons of maize to help domestic producers. A tariff of per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $ in revenue for the…
Suppose you have the following for white t-shirts market:Market demand is P=125-(3/8)QMarket supply is P=5+(1/8)Q. Suppose it is now possible to obtain white t-shirts from the rest of the world at $15 per item at anygiven quantity. In other words, there is now a global supply that is horizontal at $15.a. Obviously the world price and domestic price will now be $15. Calculate the quantityproduced and demanded domestically. Calculate the difference as imports from the rest of theworld.b. Calculate the CS (Consumer Surplus) and PS (Producer Surplus) under free trade. Who gainswith free trade? Who loses?Hint: Use graphs first.
Assume that Canada is an importer of televisions and that there are no trade restrictions. Canadian consumers buy 1.2 million televisions per year, of which 600,000 are produced domestically and 600,000 are imported. Suppose that a technological advance among Japanese television manufacturers causes the world price to fall $800 to $700. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Canadian consumers and Canadian producers and how it affects total surplus in Canada. Label the diagram carefully to show all the areas using letters of alphabets. (Do not shade the areas). After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.4 million televisions, of which 400,000 are produced domestically and 1 million are imported. Calculate the change (this will be only the area either gained or lost by consumers and producers) in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus due to price reduction. Provide numerical answers by calculating the area of change in surplus due to fall in…
