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?
Assume the United States is an importer of televisions and there are no trade restrictions. US consumers buy 1 million televisions per year, of which 400,000 are produced domestically and 600,000 are imported,a. Suppose that a technological advance among Japanese television manufacturers causes the world price of televisions to fall by $100. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of U.S. consumers and U.S. producers and how it affects total surplus in the United States.b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.2 million televisions, of which 200,000 are produced domestically and 1 million are imported. Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus from the price reduction. c. If the government responded by putting a $100 tariff on imported televisions, what would this do? Calculate the revenue that would be raised and the deadweight loss. Would it be a good policy from the standpoint of U.S. welfare? Who might support the policy?d.…
