Suppose that the world price of a pair of pants is $60, so domestic producers will export some of the pants they produce. According to the figure, the total domestic economic surplus (which includes producer and consumer surplus) in the free-trade equilibrium will be the total domestic economic surplus without trade.

3. A local economy's market demand for drones is given by Q® = 24 - 4P while supply is given by Q5 = 8P. Assume that domestic and world economic conditions were such thạt the local economy started exporting drones. What is the effect of drone exports on local economy's produćer surplus, consumer surplus and total surplus? Suppose instead that domestic and world economic conditions change such that it makes more sense for the local economy to start importing drones. What is the effect of drone imports on the local coconomy's producer surplus, consumer surplus and total surplus?

Q3: Using a domestic-market demand- and supply-curve graph, show the impact of tariff on a small country's import price, domestic demand, domestic supply, import quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and total welfare; Is the country unambiguously worse off as a result of the tariff? In the same graph, show how to achieve the same import quantity with an import quota; When would the tariff and the import quota lead to the same amount of welfare change? How will the answer to (a) and (b) change if the country uses a subsidy that is equivalent to the tariff rate to help domestic producers? How would the answers to (a) and (b) change for a large country? Your answer:
. The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S. consumers is given by the demand curve Qd = 150 − 10P, where Qd is quantity (in millions of pounds) and P is the market price per pound of coffee. Suppose the domestic supply is Qs = 10P −50. The U.S. coffee market is competitive. Suppose that the world price of coffee is $6. Congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound. (a) Find the producer and consumer surplus if there was no trade. (b) Calculate the consumer and producer surplus after we engage in free trade. (c) If the tariff is imposed calculate the changes to consumer and producer surplus. (d) Other than lower prices, provide two benefits that can occur as a result of free trade.
5. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. 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's surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producers' surplus (PS).

Referring to the graph above, if the world price is $8, consumer surplus (relative to the no trade situation): A. Increases by $60, and producer surplus decreases by $120 B. Increases by $80, and producer surplus increases by $80 C. Decreases by $60, and producer surplus decreases by $80 D. Decreases by $80, and producer surplus increases by $120
In Italy, the domestic market demand for rice is P = 100-2Q, and the domestic market supply of rice is P = 10 + Q. If the world price of rice is 20, how will consumer surplus change when Italy goes from autarky to be open to trade? It will decrease by 1200. It will increase by 700. It will decrease by 700. It will increase by 1200.

3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Ronduras is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Because of Honduras's small size, the demand for and supply of soybeans in Honduras do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic soybeans market in Honduras. The world price of soybeans is Pw = $400 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). 1200 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 1100 CS 1000 900 PS 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 120 140 160 180 200 20 40 60 80 QUANTITY (Tons of soybeans) PRICE (Dollars pe: ton)

Suppose New Zealand is open to free trade in the world market for maize. Since New Zealand is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply of maize in New Zealand have no impact on the world price. The following graph shows the domestic market for maize in New Zealand. The world price of a ton of maize is Pw $800. = 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.
