Concept Introduction:

World Price: It is the equilibrium price at which export demand curve intersects import supply curve. It is equilibrium price with trade.

Domestic Demand Curve: The curve which shows how the quantity demanded by changes due to change in the price when there is no trade. It is negatively sloped curve.

Domestic Supply Curve: The curve which shows how the quantity supplied changes due to change in the price when there is no trade. It is positively sloped curve.

Tariff: It imposes restriction on the goods that are imported. It is an indirect tax levied on the goods in case of import and export.

Consumer Surplus: It is difference between the amount that a consumer wants to pay and the real amount which he pays for goods and services.

Explanation of Solution

U.S. Consumer

  • In the figure 1 the equilibrium without trade is at point A where domestic price and quantity of tomato is PAand QArespectively. The world price is PW. The quantity demanded at world price is QDand the quantity supplied at the world price is QS.and U.S imports the deficit from Mexico.
  • Due to import, the price has decreased in U.S and the consumer surplus has increased by the shaded area equal to MACROECONOMICS W/ ACHEIVE ACCESS LL, Chapter 5, Problem 5P , additional homework tip  3

Mexican Consumer

  • In the figure 2 the equilibrium without trade is at point A where domestic price and quantity of tomato is PAand QArespectively. The world price is PW. The quantity demanded at world price is QDand the quantity supplied at the world price is QS.and Mexico exports the surplus to U.S.
  • Due to export the price has increased in Mexico and the consumer surplus has decreased by the shaded area equal to MACROECONOMICS W/ ACHEIVE ACCESS LL, Chapter 5, Problem 5P , additional homework tip  4

U.S. Producer

  • In the figure 3 the equilibrium without trade is at point A where domestic price and quantity of tomato is PAand QArespectively. The world price is PW. The quantity demanded at world price is QDand the quantity supplied at the world price is QS.and U.S imports the deficit from Mexico.
  • Due to import the price has decreased in U.S and the producer surplus has decreased by the shaded area equal to (X).

Mexican Producer

  • In the figure 4, the equilibrium without trade is at point A where domestic price and quantity of tomato is PAand QArespectively. The world price is PW. The quantity demanded at world price is QDand the quantity supplied at the world price is QS.So, Mexico exports the surplus to U.S.
  • Due to export the price has increased in Mexico and the producer surplus has decreased by the shaded area equal to MACROECONOMICS W/ ACHEIVE ACCESS LL, Chapter 5, Problem 5P , additional homework tip  7

c. Effect of trade on Mexican and U.S tomato workers.

Tomato workers in U.S are negatively affected but the workers in Mexico will benefit.

  • Due to international trade, U.S. imports tomatoes. As a result, the demand for domestic potatoes decreases and the wage of U.S. workers who are involved in the production of tomatoes decreases.
  • Due to international trade Mexico exports tomatoes. As a result, the demand for domestic potatoes increases and the wage of Mexican workers who are involved in the production of tomatoes increases.

The total cost of production for this profit-maximizing quantity is S The maximum profit the firm can earn in this situation is $ per unit for this output. How will the situation change over time? Profits will attract rival firms into the market until the profit-maximizing price falls to the level of per-unit cost. ◇ Losses will induce firms to leave this market until the profit maximizing price falls to zero. The market will adjust until the price charged by this firm no longer exceeds marginal cost at the profit-maximizing quantity. This market is already in long-run equilibrium, and will not…
