Consider a small country imposing a tariff of $2/unit in imported corn (Policy A). Suppose the country was importing 300 units and this policy resulted in a decline of imports to 250 units. a. Draw the XS and MD before and after the policy is imposed. Label the level of imports. b. Suppose the government decides to double the tariffs and as a result the imports decrease to 200 units (Policy B). Show this on your graph and label the new level of imports. c. Suppose the government adjusts the policy so that there is a tariff of $2/unit is imposed up to a quota of 100 units and then the tariff rate doubles to $4/unit for any imports above that level (Policy C). Show this on your graph and label the new level of imports. d. Under which policy are imports the highest? e. Under which policy is government revenue the highest? f. Under which policy is domestic price the highest? g. Under which policy is world price the highest? h. Can you think of reasons why Policy C may be preferable to a…
Suppose that a country implements a $20 tariff. Before the tariff, the country was importing 900 units of the good. After the tariff, the country imported 850 units of the good. What is the deadweight loss from the tariff? Assume that domestic supply and demand are linear.
Suppose the nation of Isoland is an importer of textiles and is looking for a way to raise government revenue. The following graph shows the effect of a tariff on textile imports. Price of TextilesQuantity of TextilesDemand Supply PWPW+TABCDEFGQS,1QS,2QD,2QD,1 Having rejected a tariff on textiles (a tax on imports), the president of Isoland is now considering the same-sized tax on textile consumption (including both imported and domestically produced textiles). Compared to the free trade scenario, the quantity of textiles consumed in Isoland will , and the quantity produced in Isoland will under a textile consumption tax. The following table shows the effect of an import tariff on the nation of Isoland. Complete the remaining columns of the following table by indicating the effect of the same-sized tax on textile consumption.

e) Suppose a tariff allowed an industry to create 200,000 jobs paying an average of $22,500 per year. Before the tariff consumers bought 3 billion units (60% imported) at a price of $30. After the tariff they bought 2.75 billion units (none imported) at a price of $36. How much did total consumer spending on the good increase and how much per new job?
Consider two countries, home and foreign and a single good, Y. Assume that home country imports good Y from foreign country. The import demand curve for good Y in home country is given by: MD = 170 – 2PY and the export supply curve for good Y in Foreign country is given by: EX = PY – 40. A) Consider the use of import tariff vs. import quota in Home country that will result in the same amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y. If quota rents are given to Foreign country, which policy, i.e., import tariff vs. import quota, is preferable by Home country on the basis of its effect on social welfare? Explain your reasoning.
Suppose that the world price of a gallon of gasoline is $2.00 dollars per barrel and the US can buy all the gas it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for gasoline in the US are as follows: Price ($ per gallon) US Quantity demanded US quantity supplied $1.00 65 35 $1.50 60 40 $2.00 55 45 $2.50 50 50 $3.00 45 55 Suppose the US imposes a $.50 tax per gallon on imported gas. What quantity would Americans buy? How much of this would be supplied by American producers? How much would be imported? Who is helped and who is hurt among the following groups: domestic consumers, domestic gasoline…
Consider a small country that exports steel. Suppose the following graph depicts the domestic demand and supply for steel in this country. One of the two price lines represents the world price of steel. Use the following graph to help you answer the questions below. You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. Because this country exports steel, the world price is represented by ________ . Suppose that a “pro-trade” government decides to subsidize the export of steel by paying $10 for each ton sold abroad. With this export subsidy, the price paid by domestic consumers is _________ per ton, and the price received by domestic producers is ___________ per ton. The quantity of steel consumed by domestic consumers _______ , the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers ______ , and the quantity of steel exported ________ . True or False: With the export subsidy, domestic producers will sell steel to domestic consumers and sell the rest…
How do I figure these out? Please show the steps. Thanks. Refer to a graph that shows a domestic market for COVID19 Vaccine in Korea and U.S. to answer the following questions. Suppose that each country is an open economy and the world price of vaccine is $30. Which country is an importing country? (How do I figure this out?) How much is the amount of import? Which country is an exporting country? How much is the amount of export? 2) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, total surplus, and gains from trade in Korea. Also, do the same for the U.S. Thanks
a) What is a tariff ? Does a tariff have a result from an import quota? b) Suppose a tariff allowed an industry to create 200,000 jobs paying an average of $22,500 per year. Before the tariff consumers bought 3 billion units (60% imported) at a price of $30. After the tariff they bought 2.75 billion units (none imported) at a price of $36. How much did total consumer spending on the good increase and how much per new job? c) True or False and explain: Free trade allows countries to specialize in producing those goods in which they have the comparative advantage, which in turn, results in increased world production and income.
The following graph shows the domestic market for oil in the United States, where SDSD is the domestic supply curve, and DDDD is the domestic demand curve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the world price of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of SD+WSD+W, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreign producers together offer domestic consumers. In this case, the free-trade equilibrium (black plus) occurs at a price of $240 per barrel of oil and a quantity of 9 million barrels. At this price, the United States imports 6 million barrels of oil. Suppose the U.S. government imposes a $60-per-barrel tariff on oil imports.
. 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.
