Kazakhstan is an apple producer, as well as an importer of apples. Suppose the following graph shows Kazakhstan's domestic market for apples, where Sx is the supply curve and Dx is the demand curve. The free trade world price of apples (Pw) is $200 per ton. Suppose Kazakhstan's government restricts imports of apples to 120,000 tons. The world price of apples 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 apples with a quota of 120,000 apples.

Assume that the weekly domestic demand for petroleum is represented by the equation: P= -2.25Q + 600. And, the weekly domestic supply of petroleum is represented by the equation: P= 1.5Q + 25. Assume also, that the world price of petroleum is $200. What is the domestic autarky price and quantity when this economy is closed to trade? What would be the total quantity of petroleum demanded when the economy is open to international trade? What would be the volume of imports when the economy is open to trade? What is the import dependency ratio in this economy when it is open for international trade in petroleum?

Argentina and Brazil are considering the potential gains of trade. There is only one factor of production: labor. There are only two goods being produced in either economy: coffee and wine. Argentina can employ 10,000 hours of labor per month. Producing 1 lb. of coffee requires 2 hours of labor, and producing 1 bottle of wine requires 4 hours of labor, in Argentina. Similarly, Brazil can employ 10,000 hours of labor per month. Producing 1 lb. of coffee requires 1 hour of labor, and producing 1 bottle of wine requires 5 hours of labor, in Brazil. A). Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of coffee? B). Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of wine? C). Draw the Production Possibilities Frontier for the two countries.
Consider the following information pertaining to a country's imports, consumption, and production of t-shirts following the removal of Multi Fiber Agreement (MFA) quotas: Under After МFA МFA World Price ($/shirt) Domestic Price (S/shirt) Domestic Consumption (millions of shirts) Domestic Production (millions of shirts) 2.00 2.00 2.50 2.00 100 125 75 50 a. Use the information in the table above to graph the effects of the quota removal on domestic consumption and production. Include a companion graph for the world market like that shown in class. b. The deadweight loss associated with the quota is: c. The quota rents that were earned under the quota are: d. The gain in consumer surplus associated with quota removal is: e. The loss in producer surplus from the removal of the quota is: f. Assuming that the foreign government assigned the quota licenses, the amount the home country gained from removal of the quota is: 4.
The following graph shows the same domestic demand and supply curves for soybeans in Venezuela. Suppose that the Venezuelan government changes its international trade policy to allow the free trade of soybeans. The horizontal black line (PW) represents the world price of soybeans at $350 per ton. Assume that Venezuela's entry into the world market for soybeans has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in soybeans. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade consumer surplus, and then use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade producer surplus. When Venezuela allows free trade of soybeans, the price of a ton soybeans in Venezuela will be $350. At this price, tons of soybean will be demanded in Venezuela, and tons will be supplied by domestic suppliers. Therefore,…

Assume that Canada is an importer of televisions and that there are no trade restrictions. Canadian consumers buy 1.2 million televisions per year, of which 600,000 are produced domestically and 600,000 are imported. Suppose that a technological advance among Japanese television manufacturers causes the world price to fall $800 to $700. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Canadian consumers and Canadian producers and how it affects total surplus in Canada. Label the diagram carefully to show all the areas using letters of alphabets. (Do not shade the areas). After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.4 million televisions, of which 400,000 are produced domestically and 1 million are imported. Calculate the change (this will be only the area either gained or lost by consumers and producers) in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus due to price reduction. Provide numerical answers by calculating the area of change in surplus due to fall in…
