If this economy opens to tradewhile the world price of a camera is $50, and the government imposes a tariff of $30 per camera,what will be the quantity of cameras that this country imports or exports?
home cheese alc=1hr/kg wine alw=2hrs/gallon foreign cheese alc*=6hrs/kg wine alw*=3hrs/gallon Calculate the Home country's opportunity cost of producing cheese. In which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has an absolute advantage? Show in which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has comparative advantage? Calculate the relative supply (RS) With trade, what is the equilibrium range that the relative price of cheese to wine will settle? Supposing that the intersection of RS and RD occurs at PC /PW = 1, what is the implication?

E4 Home’s demand curve for wheat is D = 200 − 40P Its supply curve is S = 40 + 40P Derive and graph Home’s import demand schedule. What would the price of wheat be in the absence of trade? Now add Foreign, which has a demand curve D∗ = 160 − 40P and a supply curve S ∗ = 80 + 40P 1. Derive and graph Foreignâs export supply curve and find the price of wheat that would prevail in Foreign in the absence of trade. 2. Now allow Foreign and Home to trade with each other, at zero transportation cost. Find and graph the equilibrium under free trade. What is the world price? What is the volume of trade? Home imposes a specific tariff of 0.5 on wheat imports. 1. Determine and graph the effects of the tariff on the following: (1) the price of wheat in each country; (2) the quantity of wheat supplied and demanded in each country; (3) the volume of trade. 2.
