Assume the world price of sugar is $0.04 per pound, and at that price the United States can buy as much sugar as it wants without causing the world price to rise. Now suppose a tariff imposed by the government completely eliminates trade. As a result of the tariff, consumers will be surplus, and producers will be off in terms of consumer off in terms of producer surplus. Use the traingle drawing tool to indicate the total loss of surplus for the United States as a result of the tariff by shading in domestic dead weight loss. Property label this shaded area.

- Having rejected a tariff on textiles (a tax on imports), the president of Isoland is now considering the same-sized tax on textile consumption (including both imported and domestically produced textiles). Under a textile consumption tax, the quantity of textiles consumed in Isoland will be (SAME AS, HIGHER , LOWER) the quantity consumed under a tariff, and the quantity produced in Isoland will be (SAME AS, HIGHER , LOWER) the quantity produced under a tariff. The following table shows the effect of an import tariff on the nation of Isoland. Compared to the consumption tax, the tariff raises (LESS, MORE , SAME AMOUNT) revenue for the government and has (SMALLER, LARGER, EQUAL SIZE) deadweight loss associated with it.arrow_forwardFor many purposes, the use of a tariff is said by economists to be “second best.” This means that Group of answer choices Another policy exists that would accomplish the same purpose as the tariff at lower economic cost.

- Suppose Russia can produce automobiles relatively cheaply, but they have poor gas mileage and create a great deal of air pollution. The U.S. government, concerned about the quality of air, would like to see fewer Russian automobiles and more cleaner-running American automobiles on the road. What is the nature of the market failure that would justify the U.S. government taking some action against the importation of Russian automobiles? Explain why imposing a tariff is a second-best policy to employ in this case and what policy choice would be more efficient if: i) US carries out its own solution; ii) the two countries governments cooperate.arrow_forwardThe analysis of a quota implies that .... please select one or more : a) The effect of a quota on trade is the same as a tariff. b) A quota will cause the same deadweight losses as a tariff. c) States should prefer quota instead of tariff. d) A quota increases imports if it is associated with high price elasticity of demand. e) When a quota is applied, the consumer surplus decreases but the producer surplus does not increase because only the state benefits from the quota.arrow_forwardThe following graph shows a fictional world economy that consists of only two countries, Greenberg and Baxton.
