To produce a car, you need steel as an intermediate good. If this country imports both cars and steel, a 25% tariff rate can be imposed on car imports, and a 10% tariff rate can be imposed on steel imports. The price of a car is $200 before the tariff, and the price of one unit of steel is $25. Knowing that two units of steel are required to produce one car: The effective rate of protection if only the tariff on steel is imposed=-0.033. The effective rate of protection if only the tariff on steel is imposed-0.3. The effective rate of protection if only the tariff on steel is imposed=0.333. O The effective rate of protection if only the tariff on steel is imposed=0.25.

Suppose that under free trade a final good F has a price of $1,000 and that the prices of two inputs, A and B, used in the production of F are PA = $300 and PB = 500 and that one unit each of A and B is used in producing one unit of F. Suppose also that a tariff of 20 percent is placed on good F, while imported inputs had tariffs of 20 percent and 30 percent respectively. Calculate the effective rate of tariff protection for domestic industry producing good F and interpret the meaning of your result (All steps must be shown to obtain full credit). Note: v = value added without tariff and v' = value added with tariff.

Suppose that this country imposes a $5 per unit tariff on this good. Which of the following is true? O There will not be deadweight losses due to this tariff, since it is a small country. The domestic price will rise by $5. O Consumers will be better off. Producers will not increase domestic production.

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. PRICE (Dolars per rug) 10000 9000 8000 7000 8000 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 D 0 P.. 10 D₂ * 20 D₁ XX ☆ XX 40 30 50 60 70 QUANTITY (Millions of rugs) S 80 90 100 (?)

The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for maize in Burundi. The world price (Pw) of maize is $270 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of maize and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in maize. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. 450 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 430 410 390 370 350 330 310 290 P 270 250 40 80 120 180 200 240 280 320 360 400 QUANTITY (Tons of maize) If Burundi is open to international trade in maize without any restrictions, it will import tons of maize. Suppose the Burundian government wants to reduce imports to exactly 160 tons of maize to help domestic producers. A tariff of per ton will achieve this.
