Based on the information from the previous graph, the absent international trade surplus is (_________). Part II. When South Africa adjusts its trade policy to allow free trade of limes, the price of one ton of limes in South Africa becomes $800. At this price, (_____)tons of limes will be demanded in South Africa, and(____)tons will be supplied by domestic suppliers. Therefore, South Africa will export(____)tons of limes. Part III. Using the info from previous tasks, complete the following to analyze the welfare effect of allowing free trade: With free trade (dollars) Consumer Surplus= Producer Surplus= WIthout free trade (dollars) Consumer Surplus= Producer Surplus=
Consider a simple world of 2 countries, Domestic (Dom) and Foreign (For), one good and increasing marginal costs. In autarky: Domestic: QD = 40 – 4*P, Qs = -8 + || 4*P Foreign: QD = 22 – 4*P, Qs = -2 + 8*P a) Discuss the consequences of opening to free trade b) Suppose that after opening to trade Domestic imposes a $2 tariff per unit imported. Assume that Domestic is, in this situation, "Small". Discuss the consequences of the tariff for Domestic only c)Suppose that Domestic was "Large" when it imposed the tariff. Discuss how would the consequences of the tariff be different?
E1 Kazakhstan is a “small” country that cannot affect world prices. Their demand for coffee is given by D : QD = 400–10P and their supply of coffee is given by S : QS = 50 + 5P. The world price of coffee is $10. a) If Kazakhstan engage in free trade, determine whether Kazakhstan imports or exports coffee, and in what quantity. Suppose Kazakhstan imposes an import quota on coffee of 50 units. b) Determine the price of coffee in Kazakhstan. c) Determine the size (numerically) of the quota rents. d) Determine the overall effect on welfare in Kazakhstan (again, with a numerical value) of the quota, relative to free trade.

The graph shows Spain's demand for oranges and the supply of oranges by growers in Spain. The world price of oranges is €1.00 a pound. Draw and label the world price line. Suppose there is free international trade. Draw a point to show the quantity of oranges bought by Spanish consumers and the price they pay. Label it 1. Draw a point to show the quantity of oranges supplied by Spanish producers and the price at which these oranges are sold. Label it 2. With free international trade, Spain produces and some at the lower world price. imports exports W oranges than in the situation with no international trade

QUESTION 17 Consider two countries: Ireland and Belgium. Each country has 40 workers, each supplying 5 units of labour time each. The only goods in the world are chemicals and automobiles. The following table gives the amount of labour time required to make each good: Chemicals Automobiles Ireland 8 20 Belgium 10 If both countries are producing chemicals in a free trade equilibrium, the relative demand curve intersects the relative supply curve at what Pc/Pa? What is the world relative price of chemicals? is the free trade equilibrium is the world relative price of chemicals
Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is Pw = $250 per ton. Throughout this problem, assume that changes in trade policies in other nations do not significantly affect the world market for wheat and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in wheat. Also assume that domestic supplies will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing domestic producer surplus (PS). (?) PRICE (Dollars per ton) 490 400 430 400 370 340 310 280 250 220…
Consider a simplified example of two countries - Singapore and Indonesia - producing two goods – telecommunications equipment and electrical circuit apparatus. Using all its resources, Singapore can produce either 50 telecommunications equipment, or 100 electrical circuit apparatus. Using all its resources, Indonesia can produce either 1,000 telecommunications equipment, or 5,000 circuit apparatus. (a) Which country/countries has/have the absolute advantages and the comparative advantages in the production of telecommunications equipment, and of electrical circuit apparatus? Explain and show. (b) Consider the case of constant opportunity cost. What will be the resulting patterns of trade, terms-of-trade, and the aggregate production and consumption? Provide a diagram to illustrate, with telecommunications equipment on the y-axis. (c) It is found that contrary to the above, there is no complete specialisation in both Singapore and Indonesia. Instead, Singapore partially specialises in…

Suppose a large country A initially imposed a tariff on its imports and is now considering removing its tariff. Use a domestic-market graph to a) show the effect of country A’s tariff removal on the world’s price, country A’s import price, import quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue. b) identify country A’s net welfare change as a result of its tariff removal. Is country A unambiguously better off? c) Use a different graph to show how foreign producers will be affected by country A’s tariff removal? d) What factor determines the level of optimal tariff for country A?
