Consider a world with two countries - USA and Foreign and a competitive market of sugar in both countries. Foreign is more effecient in the production of sugar and in a free trade equilibrium, US would import part of its consumption of sugar. Describe graphically such trading equilibrium of sugar. What would be the effect on the sugar price in USA and on the welfare (measured by consumer surplus, pro- ducer surplus and tari§ revenue) of US when US imposes an import tariffs on sugar? Argue using a graph taking into consideration that US is a large sugar importing country.
