In the long run, farmerscan decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges ismuch more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges.Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price celling to result in ain the long run than in the short run.that isPRICE (Dollars per box)2=2*2RR2403025Demand0 80 160 240 320 400 450 540 640 720 800QUANTITY (Millions of boxes)

Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 2PQS = 1/2PAssume also that the market is perfectly competitive.Suppose the lumber market described was closed to the rest of the world. Now it opens to trade and the world price of lumber is 20. Compute the equilibrium price, quantity supplied by domestic producers, and quantity demanded by domestic consumers.2.Use a demand and supply graph to show how consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus change with international trade.3. Now suppose that Country A is a major exporter of lumber to Australia and in an effort to impose sanctions on Country A, Australia imposes a tariff of t=10 on all lumber imported into Australia. Use a graph of supply and demand to show how the tariff changes consumer, producer and total surplus.4. Calculate the equilibrium price, quantity produced and demanded domestically, tariff revenue, and deadweight loss.
1) Complete the first two rows of the following table by indicating which areas on the graph represent consumer surplus and producer surplus prior to the shift in supply. Then complete the second two rows by indicating which areas on the graph represent consumer surplus and producer surplus after the change in production costs. Check all that apply.
