The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Panama. The world price (Pw) of maize is $250 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.

Kazakhstan is an apple producer, as well as an importer of apples. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for apples, where SK is the supply curve and Dk is the demand curve. The free trade world price of apples (Pw) is $200 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of apples to 200,000 tons. The world price of apples 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.) Then use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the new price of apples with a quota of 200,000 apples.

The following figure illustrates the tomato market for Mexico, assumed to be a "small" country that is unable t to affect the world price. Suppose the world price of tomato is given and constant at $100 per ton. SM is the domestic supply and DM is the domestic demand for Mexico. Now suppose the Mexican government provides production subsidy of $200 per ton to its tomato producers. SM (with subsidy) is Mexico's supply schedule with production subsidy.

Which of the following is NOT a common reason why tariffs are used despite being inefficient?
The domestic supply and demand equations for good A are given by Qs= P - 60 and Qd= 360-2P. The world price of the good is $90. At the current world price, how much of good A is produced domestically and how much is consumed? How much of the good is the country importing from the world? Graph the inverse domestic supply and demand equations with the world price. Show on the graph and calculate the producer surplus and consumer surplus. Suppose the government wants to support domestic producers by imposing a tariff of $30 per unit of good A imported. Compute the effect on producer and consumer surplus, the amount of revenue gained by the government and the deadweight loss. If you were a consumer of this good, would you vote for or against the new tariff? Explain your reasoning.
