Korea’s demand for computers isQK = 2, 000 − PkIts supply isQK = −200 + PkChina’s demand for computers isQC = 1, 000 − Pc Its supply isQC = Pc1. Suppose that Korea imposes a specific tariff of $100 on computerimports. Calculate the price of computers in each country and thequantity of computers supplied and demanded in each country. Alsocalculate the volume of trade.
What is the effect of placing tariffs on products imported into the U.S. from other countries? Are there any problems with this?
Q3: Using a domestic-market demand- and supply-curve graph, show the impact of tariff on a small country's import price, domestic demand, domestic supply, import quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and total welfare; Is the country unambiguously worse off as a result of the tariff? In the same graph, show how to achieve the same import quantity with an import quota; When would the tariff and the import quota lead to the same amount of welfare change? How will the answer to (a) and (b) change if the country uses a subsidy that is equivalent to the tariff rate to help domestic producers? How would the answers to (a) and (b) change for a large country? Your answer:
Describe what a tariff is and its economic effects
Which of the following is NOT a common reason why tariffs are used despite being inefficient?
An import Tariff does: Increase domestic consumption Decrease domestic production Decrease domestic prices Increase government revenue
A tariff lowers the price of the imported good below the world price. lowers the price of the exported good below the world price. raises the price of the imported good above the world price. keeps the price of the exported good the same as the world price.
In South Korea's state-led industrialization, export subsidies allowed South Korean products (from Samsung, Hyundai) to be sold all over the world. Compare and contrast export subsidies to import tariffs. Which factor might lead a country to decide on one or the other?
If Bangladesh is open to international trade of wheat without any restrictions, it will import the full value for your answer, accounting for the horizontal axis units.) Suppose the Bangladeshi government wants to reduce imports to exactly 200,000 bushels of wheat to help domestic producers. A tariff of S per bushel will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $ bushels of wheat. (Note: Be sure to enter in revenue for the Bangladeshi government.
Consider the pharmaceutical market in the US. The demand is Q = 200 - 2P Q P while supply is 2 40s Q P. The free trade price is 25. A) Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, total surplus, and imports under free trade. Illustrate all of these on a fully labelled graph. B) Suppose that the US puts a tariff of 6 on pharmaceuticals. When it does this, the free trade prices falls to 24. Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, tariff revenues, total surplus and deadweight loss under the tariff. Illustrate all of these on a fully labelled graph. C) Is the country better off under the tariff or free trade? How do you know?
All of the following statements about import tariffs are true except Group of answer choices they result in countries selling the product at a lower price to domestic consumers they reduce the volume of trade and the gains from trade they limit specialization and the division of labor they yield revenue for the government that levies tariffs
(a) Draw an offer curve for Guatemala that shows its offer of coffee for wheat. Include both an elastic and inelastic range in Guatemala’s offer curve. (b) Draw an offer curve for the United States that shows its offer of wheat for coffee. Show this US curve intersecting the Guatemalan offer curve in the inelastic range of the Guatemalan curve. Note the equilibrium terms of trade established. (c) Compare the equilibrium international price you found in question (b) to the autarky prices in Guatemala and in the United States. (You can find a country’s autarky price by drawing a line tangent to the offer curve at the origin.) Explain which country benefits the most from a more favorable movement in its terms of trade when it abandons its autarky position. (d) “The Guatemalan offer curve is likely to be less elastic than the US offer curve.” Justify this claim by explaining what factors determine the elasticity of an offer curve.
