Suppose a per-unit tariff of $10 is imposed on imported cell phones. After the tariff:
- The quantity demanded is 10 million
- The quantity supplied domestically is 2 million
Calculate the amount of tax revenue collected due to the tariff.
Vietnam has a policy of free trade in motorcycles which are sold in world markets at a price of 10,000 per motorcycle.
Under free trade, Vietnam produces 100,000 motorcycles and imports 100,000 motorcycles. To provide some protection
to the domestic industry, Vietnam imposes an import tariff of $1500 per motorcycle. With this tariff in place, production
in Vietnam rises by 5,000 motorcycles and consumption drops by the same amount. Calculate the effects of the tariff on:
a. Consumer Surplus b. Producer Surplus c. Government Revenues d. Overall Welfare e. If the tariff imposed by the
Vietnamese had led to small reduction in world prices of, say, 250 dollars, how, qualitatively, would the welfare
calculations (a), (b), (c) and (d) above change?
The demand for cameras in a certain country is given by D = 8000 – 30P, where P is the price of acamera. Supply by domestic camera producers is S = 4000 + 10P. 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?
