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?
Answer d and e only
What will a tariff and an import quota do to the quantity of imports and the domestic price?
reduce the quantity of imports and lower domestic price
increase the quantity of imports and raise domestic price
