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. True or False: National welfare in the United States increases as a result of a $60-per-barrel tariff on oil imports. O True Falco

Label the tariff equilibrium point (TE). 2. Shade in the lost gains from trade (LGT) because of this tariff. Lost gains from trade are also called deadweight loss. 3.

Kazakhstan is a grape producer, as well as an importer of grapes. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for grapes, where SK is the supply curve and Dk is the demand curve. The free trade world price of grapes (Pw) is $800 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of grapes to 120,000 tons. The world price of grapes 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 grapes with a quota of 120,000 grapes.

Before the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) gradually eliminated import tariffs on goods, the autarky price of tomatoes in Mexico was below the world price and in the United States was above the world price. Similarly, the autarky price of poultry in Mexico was above the world price and in the United States was below the world price. Draw diagrams with domestic supply and demand curves for each country and each of the two goods. As a result of NAFTA, the United States now imports tomatoes from Mexico and the United States now exports poultry to Mexico. How would you expect the following groups to be affected? a. Mexican and U.S. consumers of tomatoes. Illustrate the effect on consumer surplus in your diagram. b. Mexican and U.S. producers of tomatoes.
