The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Bangladesh. The world price (Pw) of maize is $255 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. 455 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 430 405 380 355 330 305 280 Pw 255 230 205 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Bangladesh is open to international trade in maize without any restrictions, it will import 300 tons of maize. Suppose the Bangladeshi government wants to reduce imports to exactly 100 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 Bangladeshi government. PRICE (Dollars per ton)

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 same domestic demand and supply curves for soybeans in Venezuela. Suppose that the Venezuelan government changes its international trade policy to allow the free trade of soybeans. The horizontal black line (PW) represents the world price of soybeans at $350 per ton. Assume that Venezuela's entry into the world market for soybeans has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in soybeans. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade consumer surplus, and then use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade producer surplus. When Venezuela allows free trade of soybeans, the price of a ton soybeans in Venezuela will be $350. At this price, tons of soybean will be demanded in Venezuela, and tons will be supplied by domestic suppliers. Therefore,…
