### Analysis of the $40 Tariff on Soybeans#### Graph ExplanationThe graph illustrates the impact of a $40 tariff on soybean imports. It contains the following components:1. **Axes:** - The horizontal axis represents the quantity of soybeans (in tons). - The vertical axis represents the price of soybeans (in dollars per ton).2. **Lines:** - **Domestic Demand (Blue Line):** This downward-sloping line shows the quantity of soybeans demanded at various prices. - **Domestic Supply (Orange Line):** This upward-sloping line shows the quantity of soybeans supplied domestically at various prices. - **World Price Plus Tariff (Black Line with Plus Symbol):** Indicates the world price of soybeans plus the $40 tariff.3. **Areas of Interest:** - **Consumer Surplus (CS - Green Triangles):** Represents the area showing consumer surplus with the tariff. - **Producer Surplus (PS - Purple Diamonds):** Represents the area showing producer surplus with the tariff. - **Government Revenue (Orange Squares):** Shaded area representing the revenue received by the government from the tariff. - **Deadweight Loss (DWL - Tan Rectangles):** Areas representing the economic inefficiency or loss caused by the tariff.#### Table for Comparison of Surplus and Revenue| | Under Free Trade (Dollars) | Under a Tariff (Dollars) ||-------------------------|----------------------------|--------------------------|| **Consumer Surplus** | | || **Producer Surplus** | | || **Government Revenue** | 0 | |#### Analysis SummaryBased on the analysis:- The consumer surplus decreases by \$____.- The producer surplus increases by \$____.- The government collects \$____ in revenue.**Net Welfare Effect:**The net welfare effect is a loss of \$____, reflecting the deadweight loss due to the tariff.

Show the effects of the $40 tariff on the following graph. Use the black line (plus symbol) to indicate the world price plus the tariff. Then, use the green points (triangle symbols) to show the consumer surplus with the tariff and the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to show the producer surplus with the tariff. Lastly, use the orange quadnilateral (square symbols) to shade the area representing government revenue received from the taniff and the tan points (rectangle symbols) to shade the areas representing deadweight loss (DWL) caused by the taniff.

Suppose a large country A initially imposed a tariff on its imports and is now considering removing its tariff. Use a domestic-market graph to a) show the effect of country A’s tariff removal on the world’s price, 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 its tariff removal. Is country A unambiguously better off? c) Use a different graph to show how foreign producers will be affected by country A’s tariff removal? d) What factor determines the level of optimal tariff for country A? Please make sure to graph fpr both parts "a" and "c"
Finland imports shoes into its country; they are a price taker in this market. Suppose the world price of shoes is $40. If Finland imposes a $10 tariff on shoes, what would be the domestic price of shoes and what will happen to the quantity bought? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. The quantity bought will increase and the price will be $30. a The quantity bought will fall and the price will be $30. The quantity bought will fall and the price will be $50. The quantity bought will increase and the price will be $50.
2. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Guatemala is open to free trade in the world market for oranges. Since Guatemala is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply of oranges in Guatemala have no impact on the world price. The following graph shows the domestic market for oranges in Guatemala. The world price of a ton of oranges is Pw = $350. 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).

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. there is now a global supply that is horizontal at $15. But the government now imposes a tariff of $5 per unit of t-shirt.a. Obviously the world price and domestic price will now be $20. Calculate the quantityproduced and demanded domestically? b. Using graphs show the changes in CS (Consumer Surplus) and PS (Producer Surplus) comparedto Free Trade. Show also the government revenue, which is tariff per t-shirt times the new level of imports. Who gains in comparison to Free Trade scenario? Who loses? What is the welfare gain or loss? Show by using graphs.
