Question 4 Suppose Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of 100 US dollars per tonne, Home growers export 20 tons of wheat. Now suppose the Home government decides to support its domestic producers with an specific export subsidy of 40 US dollars per tonne. Use Figure 1 to answer the following questions: Figure 1: Supply and Demand for Wheat at Home Home price 140 100 X 10 20 40 50 Supply Demand Quantity (a) Explain why consumer and producer surplus can be used to gauge the change in welfare caused by the export subsidy on individuals and firms. (b) What is the quantity exported by Home under free trade and with the export subsidy? (c) Calculate the effect of the export subsidy on consumer surplus, producer surplus and government revenue; depict each of these in a graph. What is the overall net effect of the export subsidy on Home welfare?

Supply chain shortages have limited the number of microchips available to car manufacturers in the US. Since every new car needs microchips to control it, we can think of a limit on the number of microchips as a quota on the production of new cars. If this quota is binding, which of the following may be a market consequence of a production quota on new cars in the US market? Do not worry about the underlying facts; only whether the explanations make economic sense given our model. (Select one or more) (a) The quantity supplied of new cars will rise to meet the quota. (b) The quantity supplied of new cars will fall to meet the quota. (c) The quantity supplied is unaffected by a binding quota. (d) The price of new cars will rise until there is no excess demand. (e) The price of new cars will fall until there is no excess demand. (f) Consumer surplus will increase as a result of the quota. (g) Consumer surplus will decrease as a result of the quota. (h) Consumer surplus will be unaffected…
