A small country can import a good at a world price of 10 per unit. The domestic supply curve of the good is Qs = 50+ 5P. The demand curve is Qd = 400-10P. Suppose for political reasons the government counts a dollar's worth of gain to producers as being worth $2 of either consumer gain or government revenue. Assume the government's objective is to maximize national welfare. The change in the government's objective of a tariff of $5 per unit is $. (Round your answer to the nearest penny.)

The market for pencils has a domestic demand equation P=20−0.5Q�=20−0.5�, and a domestic supply equation P=5+Q�=5+�, where quantity is measured in thousands. The world supply equation for pencils is PW=10��=10. The domestic government decides to implement a tariff of $10 per thousand pencils. As a result of the tariff, the new domestic price of pencils is
One advantage of a tariff over a quota, from the perspective of the nation imposing it, is that a tariff decreases the domestic price increases the quantity of imports decreases the quality of imports raises tax revenue
Tariff Jumping occurs when Group of answer choices Countries raise (and lower) their tariffs in an effort to stabilize the price of a product on the domestic market. A firm buys inputs from domestic firms rather than importing them from abroad over a tariff. A firm that otherwise would have exported to a country instead invests there in order to avoid paying the country’s tariff. A country raises a tariff against a foreign exporter who sells to it below cost.
For a large country import tariffs will yield a price increase for domestic consumer that is A higher than the tariff itself B equal to the tariff itself C smaller than the tariff itself
In the United States, imposing a tariff on imported vitamin D3 would: Group of answer choices increase total American consumption of vitamin D3. increase American consumption of domestically produced vitamin D3. reduce exports of vitamin D3. decrease domestic production of vitamin D3.
Domestic demand for fidget spinners in the domestic economy is characterized by the equation P=100−2Q, domestic supply is characterized by the equation Q=P−10, and the world price is equal to 60. Then the export tariff of 10 per unit will a) lead to a decrease in the domestic price by 10 b) be equivalent to an export subsidy of 10 per unit c) increase domestic welfare d) decrease domestic exports by 10
Domestic demand for natural gas in a small economy is characterized by the equation P= 350-5Q, domestic supply is characterized by the equation (Q= 0.5.P+ 35, and the world price is equal to $60. An export tariff of $6 per unit will result in a net welfare loss of 14.6 lead to an export level that is less than half of the original amount lead to a loss in consumer surplus result in tariff revenue that is larger than the loss in producer surplus
. The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S. consumers is given by the demand curve Qd = 150 − 10P, where Qd is quantity (in millions of pounds) and P is the market price per pound of coffee. Suppose the domestic supply is Qs = 10P −50. The U.S. coffee market is competitive. Suppose that the world price of coffee is $6. Congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound. (a) Find the producer and consumer surplus if there was no trade. (b) Calculate the consumer and producer surplus after we engage in free trade. (c) If the tariff is imposed calculate the changes to consumer and producer surplus. (d) Other than lower prices, provide two benefits that can occur as a result of free trade.
Let us consider the case of Good X in Malaysia. The demand and supply functions for Good X in Malaysia are Demand function: QD=363−2P Supply function: QS=22+P If the world price is 70, then is Malaysia an importer or exporter? Find out the quantity of imports at Pw=70 If import quota was 80 units what will be the new price in the Malaysian market? How many Good X will be produced domestically after quota has been implemented? How many Good X will be consumed by domestic consumers after quota has been implemented? What will be the import after implementing import quota of 80 units? (Please give your answers in two decimal places) What is the percentage change in imports after the imposition of import quota? Please give your answers in two decimal places, Multiply by 100 to convert into percenatge (if you get 0.40 then submit 40 in the answer)
If a small country uses a quota to limit imports of a particular product, producers in the foreign country will receive some benefits if the country allocates its quota by Group of answer choices auctioning permits that allow winning bidders to import the good asking its trade partner to use a voluntary export reduction giving the quota rights away to home retailers using a rent-seeking method
