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. Throughout this problem, assume that changes in trade policies in other nations do not significantly affect the world market for wheat and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in wheat. Also assume that domestic supplies will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 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 domestic producer surplus (PS).
