With the recent war between Russia and Ukraine, the production and thus exports of wheat have declined (which increased the price of such exports), because Ukraine is the major producer and exporter of the same. As a result, what can we expect in the market for rice, used by many as a staple instead of wheat? a) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will decrease b) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will increase c) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will increase d) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will decrease
China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 created more competition between local and foreign firms, and also provided China greater access to the market for exports. This was particularly true in the market for rubber since, at the time, China was the world’s second largest consumer of rubber (China is now the world’s largest consumer of rubber). Shortly after joining the WTO, China eliminated its import quota on rubber. What impact do you think the import quota reduction likely had on the price of rubber and the quantity of rubber exchanged in China? What implications do you think the elimination of the quota on rubber had on China’s social welfare?
Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically 80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linear schedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and theprice elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Country C imposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. Summarise and analyse the quantity of steel produced, consumed and imported in Country C. Analyse and discuss the welfare gain from trade in Country C. Show your answers of the steel market with a proper diagram.

Much of the demand for U.S. agricultural output has come from other countries. In 1998, the total demand for wheat was Q = 3244 - 283P. Of this, total domestic demand was QD = 1700 - 107P, and domestic supply was QS =1944 + 207P. Suppose the export demand for wheat falls by 40%. a. U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. What happens to the free-market price of wheat in the United States? Do farmers have much reason to worry? b. Now suppose the U.S. government wants to buy enough wheat to raise the price to $3.50 per bushel. With the drop in export demand, how much wheat would the government have to buy? How much would this cost the government?

Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically 80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linear schedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Q: Summarise and analyse the quantity of steel produced, consumed and imported in Country C. Analyse and discuss the welfare gain from trade in Country C. Show your answers of the steel market with a proper diagram.

Analyse and discuss the welfare gain from trade in Country C. Show your answers of the steel market with a proper diagram. (b) Analyse the effects of the consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue and deadweight loss in the Country C steel market with the tariff. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries.
Same question screenshot is attached Assume that Grainland currently produces wheat and does not trade wheat in international markets. (a) Draw a correctly labeled demand and supply graph for the domestic wheat market in Grainland. Label the equilibrium price, PePe, and the equilibrium quantity, QeQe. (b) Suppose the price of wheat in the world market is lower than the domestic price of wheat in Grainland. Assume now Grainland wants to trade wheat in the world market. (i) On your graph from part (a), label the world market price of wheat as PWPW, and identify the domestic quantity demanded of wheat at PWPW, as Q3Q3, and the domestic quantity supplied of wheat labeled as Q1Q1. (ii) Will Grainland export or import wheat? Explain. (c) With international trade in wheat, who will benefit in Grainland: domestic producers, domestic consumers, neither or both? Explain. (d) Suppose that the government of Grainland decides to provide a subsidy for wheat farmers to make the country more…
Graphically illustrate using the Supply and demand graph and explain the impact of the severe drought and cold on the tourism market in Kansas.
Suppose that you decide to start a new business of making children’s ready-made garments. Make a (Hypothetical) linear supply schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity supplied for your business. Make a graph showing equilibrium, shortage and surplus in the ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose cheap ready-made garments are imported from China. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity for the Pakistani ready-made garments market. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that to boost the local industry, the Pakistani government gives subsidy on electricity prices. Draw a graph to show changes in equilibrium price and quantity. Give interpretation of this graph. Suppose that cheap cloth is imported from China for production of readymade garments and at the same time tourism in Pakistan increases bringing many more buyers of ready-made garments in the market. What will be impact on equilibrium price and…
