4. Effects of a tariff in a large nationThe following graph shows the domestic market for oil in the United States, where Sp is the domestic supply curve, and Dp is the domestic demandcurve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the worldprice of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of Sp+w, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreignproducers together offer domestic consumers. In this case, the free-trade equilibrium (black plus) occurs at a price of $240 per barrel of oil and aquantity of 9 million barrels. At this price, the United States imports 6 million barrels of oil.Suppose the U.S. government imposes a $60-per-barrel tariff on oil imports.On the following graph, use the tan line (rectangle symbol) to draw the new total supply schedule including the tariff (SD+W+T). Then use the greypoint (star symbol) to indicate the new market equilibrium price and quantity as a result of the tariff.PRICE (Dollars per barrel)4203903603303002702402101801501200DD1SD+W2 3 45678QUANTITY OF OIL (Millions of barrels)9Sp10SD+W+TEquilibrium Under TariffDomestic Revenue EffectTerms-of-Trade EffectDeadweight Loss The tarrif's revenue effect (the import tariff multiplied by the quantity of oil imported) can be broken into two components:• Domestic revenue effect• Terms-of-trade effectOn the previous graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to indicate the domestic revenue effect of the tariff.

The tarrif's revenue effect (the import tariff multiplied by the quantity of oil imported) can be broken into two components: • Domestic revenue effect • Terms-of-trade effect On the previous graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to indicate the domestic revenue effect of the tariff. Then use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to indicate the terms-of-trade effect. Now consider the effect of the tariff on welfare in the United States. On the previous graph, use the black triangles (plus symbols) to indicate the deadweight loss caused by the tariff.

If the United States is currently importing 14 million barrels per day at a world price of $4.00 per unit (the entire amount consumed), what is the effect on imports of a tax equal to $4.00 per unit? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, help determine the quantity of U.S. crude oil imports after the $4.00 per-unit tax by drawing a horizontal line at the price paid by U.S. consumers. Label this line + Tax'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, determine quantity demanded at the price paid by U.S. consumers after the imposition of the import tax. Label this line 'Pop'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, determine quantity supplied at the price paid by U.S. consumers after the imposition of the import tax. Label this line "Pas". Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. The amount of imports after the $4.00 per-unit tax is million barrels per day.

4. A graphical comparison of tariffs and quotas Alagir and Ertil are small countries that protect their economic growth from rapidly advancing globalization by limiting the import of rugs to 20 million. To this end, each country imposes a different type of trade barrier when the world price (Pw) is $3,000. In Alagir, the government decides to impose a tariff of $2,000 per rug; in Ertil, the government implements a quota of 20 million rugs. Assume that Alagir and Ertil have identical domestic demand (Do) and supply (S) curves for rugs as shown on the following graph. Under these conditions, the price of rugs is $5,000 per rug in each country.

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…
