In the picture below is the full question. The highlighted one is my guess which is wrong.
Which of the following best explains how subsidies work as a trade restriction?
A)They increase competition for a new business, forcing it to be more productive, and lowering prices for consumers.
B)They limit the import of foreign goods and create shortages.
C)They place a tax on foreign goods, making foreign good expensive, increasing demand for domestic goods(this one is wrong)
D)Governments pay producers, offsetting costs, increasing supply, lowering prices, and reducing foreign competition.
Consider the market for sugar in the United States depicted in the figure to the
right. 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.

B. If Oman imposing an import tariff on the used car imports from UAE (Foreign),
explain the cost and benefits tariff as an importing country to Oman and an exporting
county to UAE(Use appropriate diagram to explain your answer).
Your answer can limit based on following theoretical assumptions:
Suppose that there are two countries Home (Oman) and Foreign.
Both countries consume and produce used cars which can be costless
transported between these countries.
In each country, it is a competitive industry.
Suppose that in the absence of trade the price of used cars at Home exceeds
the corresponding price at Foreign.
C. If Oman allowing an export subsidy to
Diagrammatically explain its effects on the Oman market (Exporting country) and as
an importing country to UAE market.
Your answer can limit based on following theoretical assumptions:

Suppose that there are two countries Home (Oman) and Foreign (UAE).
Both countries consume and produce vegetables, which…

- As you may have heard, Russia decided to invade its neighbor, which has led to international condemnation (albeit not on all fronts). The EU, a former major importer of gas from Russai, went ahead with sanctions. Imagine, if you will, that the respective heads of state get together and try to negotiate a trade agreement to end sanctions. They each have three possible choices: (a) Maintain tariffs against the other nation (T); (b) Seek mediation from the WTO, which would implement an international trade agreement at a small cost (M); (c) Unilaterally remove tariffs (F). The payoff matrix is as given below. Is there a dominant strategy for either player? Find all the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in the game. How would this change if, instead, the mediation is costless and yields a payoff of 50 to each nation (assuming mutually successful mediation) and a payoff of 0 (if the other nation chooses otherwise)? **arrow_forwardPlease answer only if you are sure about the correct answers:arrow_forwardplease helparrow_forward

For both an import good and an export good (in other words, address each bulleted item below twice—once for import and once for export), describe how opening up to international trade affects the following: supply or demand for the particular good, the competitiveness of that good’s market, and how the change in competitiveness affects equilibrium price and quantity. Stepping away from the import/export examples, describe how opening up to trade specifically affects a domestic monopoly. Include an explanation, using game theory, of how even a single additional competitor can lead to a market outcome similar to perfect competitionarrow_forwardOver the next 4-5 years, as part of the free trade deal, Japan will bring its tariff on canola oil down to zero. Using the hypothetical Japanese canola oil market below, how will total surplus change as a result of the removal of the tariff? (Do not include the extra zeros for millions in your answer. If total surplus falls, enter a negative number.) (Please note: The y-intercept is 9 and the x-axis begins at zero.)arrow_forward
