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. There is no protection cost to the economy arising from a direct subsidy of P20 to producers: Select one: O True O False

Country X has 100 units of labour and country Y has 200 units of labour. Both countries produce computers and televisions. The unit labour requirements are given in the table below: Computers Televisions Country X 50 Country Y 100 Assume that free trade exists and that the relative price is such that both countries specialize completely in the industry in which they have a comparative advantage (neither country produces both goods). The supply of computers relative to televisions will be Select one: a. 0.02 (or 1/50) O b. 0.013 (or 1/75) c. 0.01 (or 1/100) d. impossible to determine without knowing the relative price of computers in terms of televisions
Consider the case of the following large country (all prices are measured in euros, and quantities are measured in single units): – Domestic demand curve: P = 3600 –3Q – Domestic supply curve: P = 2Q – World free trade price of imports = 140 euros per unit – When the tariff is introduced, domestic prices rise by exactly one third of the amount of the tariff. Calculate the following. Also show your workouts, draw a diagram depicting the importing country market under free trade and with a tariff. With a 30 euro specific tariff: The change in consumers' surplus going from free trade to the tariff, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The change in producers' surplus going from free trade to the tariff, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The amount of tariff revenue, in euros: __________________________________________________________________________________ The change…
The demand and supply functions for a product in two large countries are given as: Country A Country B Qd = 56 - 4P Qd = 110 – 4P Qs = -4 + 2P Qs = -10 + P The importing country imposes an ad valorem tariff of 20%. Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and social welfare after the imposition of tariff in the importing nation.
This assignment assumes demand and supply schedules for widgets P=120-3Qd and P = 40 +2QS Please record your answers without dollar signs. Now suppose this country can purchase all the widgets it wants at a world price of P = 48. When the country opens up to trade, the price that will prevail in this marketplace will be the world price, P= 48. This assumption applies for the remainder of the questions. Consumer Surplus for buyers (consumers) in this country will now equal QUESTION 9 Producer Surplus for sellers in this country will now equal QUESTION 10 Total Consumer and Producer Surplus will be dollars. dollars dollars

The level of imports of vegetable fibre after the tariff will be A. 12 units B. 8 units C. 4 units D. 16 units Full explain this question and text typing work only thanks
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.
