Suppose the market for a certain manufactured product in Country 1 is given by the following functions: QD = 140-20P QS = -20+ 20P Where QD and QS (in relevant units) are the demand and supply functions, respectively and P is the unit price of the product. Suppose the world price of the product is P2.00 (equivalent) and the government is intending to impose a 50 percent tariff rate on its imports.

Now, suppose that Island is a large exporting country with the following demand and supply functions and the free-trade world price is $5,000 per unit. D = 900,000 − 150P and S = 100,000 + 50P The Island government offers an export subsidy that increases the domestic market price to $5,500 and lowers the world price to $4,500. However, starting next month, the Island government will be removing the export subsidy in compliance with the latest international trade pact. A. What is the impact of the removal of the subsidy on domestic consumers? B. What is the change in producer surplus due to the movement to free trade? C. What is the net effect of moving to free trade on Island welfare?
The demand and supply functions for a product in a large country are given as Qd = 130 – 3P and Qs = -30 + 2P respectively. The world price is 20$ and the large country imposes an ad valorem tariff of %50. After the imposition of tariff world price decreases to 16$. Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and social welfare after the imposition of tariff.
A particular metal is traded in a highly competitive world market at a world price of $11.2 per ounce. Unlimited quantities are available for import into Canada at this price. The supply of this metal from domestic Canadian producers can be represented by Qs = 322 + 52P and the demand for the metal in Canada is Qd = 2589 - 74P, where Qs and Qd are in units of million ounces and P is the price per ounce. The Canadian government plans to impose an import quota of 310 million ounces per year. What is the net domestic loss to the Canadian economy as a result of the import quota? Answer: $ __________million
The small nation of Capralia has an abundant stock of Pashmina goats, a breed that yields high-quality cashmere. Capralia's authorities are still debating whether to open their economy to international trade. The international price of cashmere is $70,000 per metric ton, and the Capralian cashmere sells for $50,000 per metric ton. Place the consumer surplus triangle (CS) and the producer surplus triangle (PS) to correctly depict consumer and producer surplus if Capralia chooses to open its borders to the international cashmere trade. 100 Price (metric ton) 90 80 70 80 50 40 30 20 10 10 0 Capralia's Domestic Cashmere Market 6 domestic supply domestic equilibrium 12 18 24 30 36 42 Quantity (thousands of metric tons) 48 54 60 CS Capralia will import 36,000 metric tons of cashmere.

Consider a large country with a domestic demand characterized by the inverse demand function P=1000-Q. Domestic supply is represented by the equation P=400+Q. Finally, the world price of the good is 900. You know that an export tariff pass-through is 10%, meaning that foreign price decreases by 10% value of an export tariff t; more generally, 10% of any change in the domestic price is absorbed by the world market. a) Draw a diagram of a free trade case, label imports, consumer and producer surplus. b) Now you want to introduce export quota restrictions g. Calculate the value of the optimal export quota q, which maximizes domestic welfare. Illustrate CS, PS, QR, and DWL on your graph. Calculate their numerical values.
Domestic demand for natural gas in a small economy is characterized by the equation P=350-5QP=350-5Q , domestic supply is characterized by the equation Q=0.5-P+35Q=0.5-P+35 , and the world price is equal to $60. An export tariff of $6 per unit will Group of answer choices result in net welfare loss of 14.6 lead to a loss in consumer surplus lead to an export level that is less than half of the original amount result in tariff revenue that is larger than the loss in producer surplus
Assume that the domestic supply and demand for a good are given by the following equations. Q = 500 – 20 P Q = 80 + 10 P If the world price is $10 what is the free trade level of imports? Calculate the net welfare effects of a quota of 60 units. (Quota rent goes to foreign suppliers ( VERS) . Use also graph to show the effects of this quota. If %30 tariff imposed on the world price(10$) , what will be net welfare effects? Compare this welfare effect with the one in (a) and comment. Use a new graph to show the effects. Suppose the domestic industry is a Monopoly, with which commercial policy instrument ( quota or tariff? - assuming both of them yields the same level of imports- ) would it prefer to be protected and why? Explain.
(a) Define, compare, and contrast the following trade policies: (i) tariffs, (ii) export subsidies, and (iii) quantitative restrictions. Be sure to include in your answer a discussion of the expected effect these policies have on prices, exports (for the exporting country), imports (for the importing country), and the welfare of various actors. (b) In 2016, the United Kingdom voted to withdraw from the European Union. First, explain the motivation supporting both the "leave" and "stay" policies. Second, what is the expected economic effect of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union?

(a) What would be the change in domestic producer surplus if imported rice is banned? (b) What would be the change in consumer surplus if a $5 tariff is imposed on imported rice? (c) What would be the change in imports if a $5 tariff is imposed on imported rice? (d) What would be the smallest tariff to completely eliminate imported rice? (e) A $5 per unit tariff has the same effect on producer and consumer surplus as a quota of
The supply of wheat in a small open economy is given by S= -100+10p and its imports demand function is given by M= 900-15p, where p is the price, S is the quantity supplied and M is the amount of imports. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantities of wheat produced and consumed in autarky. Suppose the country enters free trade and that the world price is pF = 30 euros. Calculate the new quantities produced and consumed in the country. Following complains by local producers that free trade imports hurt domestic production, the country’s government decides on the imposition of an import tariff t=15 euros per unit of imports. Calculate the after-tariff quantities produced and consumed in the country as well as the change in the country’s aggregate welfare, relative to free trade. Briefly comment on your answer.
The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Burundi. The world price (Pw) of maize is $270 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of maize and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in maize. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 450 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 430 410 390 370 350 330 310 290 P 270 250 40 80 120 180 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Burundi is open to international trade in maize without any restrictions, it will import tons of maize. Suppose the Burundian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 160 tons of maize to help domestic producers. A tariff of per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $ in revenue for the…

Suppose it is now possible to obtain white t-shirts from the rest of the world at $15 per item at anygiven quantity. In other words, there is now a global supply that is horizontal at $15.a. Obviously the world price and domestic price will now be $15. Calculate the quantityproduced and demanded domestically. Calculate the difference as imports from the rest of theworld.b.
