The supply function and demand function of a
certain agricultural product are as follows: S=2p-
40, D=-2p+120. p is the unit price. Let's assume
that the home country is a small country. The
international price of the product is P*=25. The
government then decides to impose restrictions on
the import quantity of this product and the limited
amount is ='-' (see the graph). In an open economy
situation, when M=40, please answer questions
15-18.15. Please calculate the consumer surplus of
this country. 16. Please calculate the producer
surplus of this country. 17. Please calculate the
total surplus of this country. 18. Please calculate
the deadweight loss of this country.
You are an advisor to the Prime Minister of your country. Currently, post-secondary students in your country pay the full cost of their education, without the help of any government subsidies. The Prime Minister is strongly considering a new policy that fully subsidizes the cost of a post-secondary education.
a) The Prime Minister asks you to explain why the current system, without any subsidies, should remain in place. Based on your understanding of the course material, describe why any subsidies for post-secondary education would be bad policy.
b) After hearing your argument against tuition subsidies, the Prime Minister asks you to explain why it might be valuable to subsidize 100% of post-secondary education costs. Based on your understanding of the course material, describe why fully-subsidized post-secondary education would be good policy.
Demand and supply for television use (pay per view) by choice is described by the following demand and supply functions (v represents price per item)
Demand = 198 - 2v
Supply = -2 + 2v
The world market price for TV use is € 30. Price per item.
a) decision is now made to impose a 30% duty on the world market price of imports. But the government has now found that traditional duty can be collected through credit card companies transactions (no VAT).
i) What will be the price, imports, demand and domestic supply.
ii) What will be the macroeconomic loss due to duty compared to free trade without VAT?
