PRICE (Dolars) Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 24 72 1.20 QUANTITY (Millions of towels) Price (World) Price (Quota) (7) In the absence of foreign trade, the equilibrium price of a towel is domestic quantity supplied equal million towels. At this price, both the domestic quantity demanded and the Suppose that trade between the United States and China is open and that the United States initially imposes no tariffs or quotas on towels imported from China. Assume that China has a comparative advantage in producing towels and charges the world price of $12 per towel.

Zenobia is a small country that takes the world price of barley as given. Its domestic supply and demand for barley are given by: D = 60 – 4P S = 4P – 12 7 euro for every bushel of barley Suppose the Zenobian government applies an import quota that limits imports to 12 bushels. a) Determine the quantity demanded, quantity supplied, and new domestic price with the quota. b) Calculate the quota rent. c) Assuming that quota licenses are allocated to domestic producers, what is the net effect of the quota on Zenobia's welfare? d) Assuming that quota rents are earned by foreign exporters, what is the net effect of the quota on Zenobia's welfare?
Suppose that the world price of oil is roughly $90.00 per barrel and that the world demand and total world supply of oil equal 34 billion barrels per year (bb/yr), with a competitive supply of 20 bb/yr and 14 bb/yr from OPEC. Statistical studies have shown that the long-run price elasticity of demand for oil is -0.40, and the long-run competitive price elasticity of supply is 0.40. Using this information, derive linear demand and competitive supply curves for oil. Let the demand curve be of the general form Q=a-bP and the competitive supply curve be of the general form Q=c+dP, where a, b, c, and d are constants. The equation for the long-run demand curve is A.Q=47.50-0.15P. B.Q=13.50-47.50P. C.Q=47.50-P. D.Q=47.50+0.15P. E.Q=13.50-0.15P.
Kazakhstan is a grape producer, as well as an importer of grapes. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for grapes, where SK is the supply curve and DK is the demand curve. The free trade world price of grapes (Pw) is $800 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of grapes to 60,000 tons. The world price of grapes is not affected by the quota. Analyze the effects of the quota on Kazakhstan's welfare. On the following graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw the Kazakhstan's supply curve including the quota Sk+Q. (Hint: Draw this as a straight line even though this curve should be equivalent to the domestic supply curve below the world price.)
