Much of the demand for U.S. agricultural output has come from other countries. In 1998, the total demand for wheat was Q = 3244 - 283P. Of this, total domestic demand was QD = 1700 - 107P, and domestic supply was QS =1944 + 207P. Suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40%. a. U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. What happens to the free-market price of wheat in the United States? Do farmers have much reason to worry? b. Now suppose the U.S. government wants to buy enough wheat to raise the price to $3.50 per bushel. With the drop in export demand, how much wheat would the government have to buy? How much would this cost the government?
Suppose the government imposes a quota on imports of foreign-made steel. Assume that the quota has an effect on the market for steal. The result will be that the domestic price of steel Answer 1 Question 8, the domestic production of steel Answer 2 Question 8, and imports of foreign-made steel Answer 3 Question 8
India produces wheat that it consumes domestically and exports to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka doesn’t produce any wheat and is totally dependent on India. The total demand of wheat is given by Q = 3244 -283P. The domestic demand of India is given by the equation Qd = 1700-107P. The total supply of wheat is given by equationQs= 1944 + 207P.(P is in Rs per Kg and Q is in lakh Kg.)
a.Calculate the market price of wheat.
C.Suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40 percent, will the market price change? If yes, then what is the newmarketprice?
