The figure below shows the domestic supply and demand demand for shoes. As labeled, the no-trade domestic equilibrium occurs at a price of $80 per pair of shoes. If international trade is permitted, the world supply price is labeled at $60 per pair of shoes. P = $80 P = $60 S 1,000 1,200 1,300 Number of shoes D Suppose the government implements an import quota of 200 pairs of shoes. Which of the following statements is false? a. Producers will be made better off. b. The resulting equilibrium price will be higher than $60. c. The resulting equilibrium price will be higher than $80. d. The number of pairs of shoes imported into the country will decrease.

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.
Economics Question
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
Price P1 D 01 Quantity The graph above shows domestic supply and demand with trade in a SMALL country. With trade, this country can purchase at the world price, Pw. Suppose that this country imposes a $5 per unit tariff on this good. Which of the following is true? O There will not be deadweight losses due to this tariff, since it is a small country. The domestic price will rise by $5. O Consumers will be better off. Producers will not increase domestic production.
China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 11.5 – Q Supply: P = 5.5 + Q Price is in 10 Yuan (¥) per bushel of soybeans and the units for Quantity are 100 million bushels per year. This is to make graphing simpler. This does NOT mean that the price is 10 and quantity is 100. Rather it means that if the price was 40¥ and the quantity was 7,500,000,000 bushels, this would plot as 4 and 7.5 respectively. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel (this would graph as a horizontal line at 6.5). Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including: Domestic Demand curve (D), Domestic Supply curve (S), the World Price (WP), and the Price with tariffs (PT), along with the quantities imported both with and without the tariff. Based on your graph, what…
Consider the market for wheat as shown in the Wheat Exports figure. In that figure, the world price p., for wheat is $300 per tonne. a) Perform a Welfare Analysis on the free trade equilibrium. That is, describe and show the Consumer Surplus, Producer Surplus, Government Tax Receipts, Total Surplus, and any Deadweight Loss. b) Suppose the government introduces a tax on exported wheat, so that firms must pay the government $75 per tonne of wheat exported. (i) Argue why this would reduce the price paid by domestic consumers, even though wheat sold to them does not attract the tax. (ii) Perform a Welfare Analysis on the effect of this tax. That is, describe and show the Consumer Surplus, Producer Surplus, Government Tax Receipts, Total Surplus, and any Deadweight Loss. (iii) For any Deadweight Loss identified, give an intuitive description of why this deadweight loss exists. c) Suppose instead the tax were $150 per tonne for exports. (i) What price would domestic consumers now pay for…
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…

5. Agricultural export subsidies in a small nation The following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Do is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price of wheat. Assume that Canada is a relatively small producer of wheat, so changes in its output do not affect the world price of wheat. Also assume that Canada is currently open to free trade, and domestic consumers are able to purchase wheat at the world price with negligible transportation costs. Suppose a subsidy of $80 per ton is granted to exporters in Canada, allowing them to sell their products abroad at prices below their costs. Assume that trade restrictions are also put in place in order to prevent domestic consumers from buying wheat abroad at the world price. Use the grey line (star symbols) to indicate the world price of wheat plus the subsidy on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the price of wheat in Canada and the quantity demanded at that…
