Assume two countries, Thailand (T) and Japan (J), have one good: cameras. The demand (d) and supply (s) for cameras In Thailand and Japan is described by the following functions: QsT=-5+14P QsJ=-10+14P QdT=60-P QdJ=80-P P is the price measured in a common currency used in both countries, such as the Thai Baht. Compute the equilibrium price (P) and quantities in each country without trade. Now assume that free trade occurs. The free-trade price goes to 56.36 Baht. Who exports and Imports cameras and in what quantities?
3. The world price of sugar is $.10 per lb., but import quotas raise the U.S. price to $.225 per lb. a. Compute the tariff equivalent of the quota (as a percent of the world price). b. Due to the high price of sugar in the U.S., high fructose corn sweetener emerges as an economic substitute for sugar. As a result it is expected that the demand for sugar will fall over time. From the perspective of the U.S. sugar industry, are they better off with tariff protection, or a quota which is equivalent today, but which stays fixed over time? Explain using a supply and demand diagram in your answer.
