Suppose Home’s demand and supply functions for wheat are D=110-2P and S=20+20P and Foreign’s demand and supply functions for wheat are D*=80-2P and S*=40+2P a. Derive Home’s import demand and Foreign’s supply schedule and prices of wheat in absence of trade. b. Now, Home and Foreign opens up to trade. Find the equilibrium under free trade. What is the world price of wheat and what is the volume of trade? c. Suppose Home imposes a specific tariff of 0.5 on wheat imports. Determine the effect of tariff on the price of wheat in each country, the quantity supplied and demanded in each country and volume of trade. d. Determine the effect of tariff on the welfare of Home consumers, Home government and Home import-competing producers.
6 Consider two countries Home and Partner trading industry goods. Partner’s supply curve can be represented as follows: XSP=P-1 Home’s import demand for industry goods is given by: MD=10-P The rest of the world is represented by the following supply of industry goods. XSRoW=P-1 a) Derive and graph Home’s import supply curve and find the equilibrium price under free trade. Quantify the amount of goods exported and imported. b) Assume that Home imposes a MFN-tariff of 1 on all industry imports. Find the new equilibrium and quantify the domestic price, border prices and quantities exported and imported. c) What happens if Home removes the tariff for imports from Partner but not from the rest of the world. Find the new equilibrium and quantify domestic price, border prices and quantities exported and imported.
If the interest rate is R = 0.10, (approximately) what is the Present Value of $79.20 to be received one year from today? Group of answer choices A) None of the other options. B) $71.28 C) $72 D) $72.90 E) $70.20
Suppose a nation is considering two alternative policies to protect a domestic industry from world trade. The two policies are an import quota of Xunits and a per- unit tariff that would reduce imports to X units. Though either policy would result in only X imported units of this good, there is a fundamental difference in the outcome. Explain this difference.
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
Suppose that Country A can produce 6060 bags of sugar or 3030 bags of flour per worker hour. Country B can produce 4040 bags of sugar or 1010 bags of flour per worker hour. Assume that there is 100%100% specialization, and each country has 55 worker hours.If each country specializes in its comparative advantage, calculate the quantity of the good that Country B should produce.
3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Bolivia is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Bolivia's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Bolivia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Bolivia. 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). (?

Now suppose the Bolivian government decides to impose a tariff of $60 on each imported ton of wheat. After the tariff, the price Bolivian…
Suppose Country X exports good A and imports good B. And, Country Y exports good B and imports good A. When country Y imposes an import tariff, what happens to the terms of trade in these countries and what is the impact of this on economic welfare (assume no other factor determines economic welfare).
Home Demand: 90 - 2Pt Foreign Demand: 50 - 4Pt*Home Supply: 30 + 2Pt Foreign Supply: 10 + 2Pt* There are demand and supply functions for good corn for the home country and demand and supply functions for good wheat for the foreign country. Home country as an importer and foreign country as an exporter trade with each other, at zero cost of transportation.A. Find and graph the equilibrium under free trade. What is the world price and the volume of trade? Also, in the absence of trade, what are the prices that would prevail in home country for corn and in foreign country for wheat?.(Pt = Pt* = Pw -> Pw; world prices) B. Suppose home imposes a specific tariff of 5 on corn imports. Find and graph the effects of tariff on price of corn in each country, on the quantity of corn supplied and demanded in each country, on volume of trade? And briefly explain these results in relation to the effects of the tariff? C. Let the tariff conditions in section (b) be valid. Determine and graph…
