Assume a perfectly competitive market and the exporting country is small. Using a demand and supply diagram, show the impact of increasing standards on a low-income exporter of toys. Show the tariffs impact. Is the effect on toy prices the same or different? Why is a standards policy preferred to tariffs?
b. The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S. consumers is given by the demand curve Q = 250 – 10P, where Q is quantity (in millions of pounds) and P is the market price per pound of coffee. World producers can harvest and ship coffee to U.S. distributors at a constant marginal (= average) cost of $8 per pound. U.S. distributors can in turn distribute coffee for a constant $2 per pound. The U.S. coffee market is competitive. Congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound. i. If there is no tariff, how much do consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded?ii. If the tariff is imposed, how much will consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded?
Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linearschedules, 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 Cimposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries
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…
Part F. If home country imposes a specific tariff of $15 per unit of good Y imported, what is the tariff revenue? Show your work. Part G. Assume that instead of a specific tariff, an import quota will be used on good Y. What is the amount of the quota that will have identical effects (in terms of amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y) as the specific tariff of $15? Explain your reasoning. Part H. 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 Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of 100 US dollars per tonne, Home growers export 20 tons of wheat. Now suppose the Home government decides to support its domestic producers with a specific export subsidy of 40 US dollars per tonne. Use Figure 1 to answer the following questions: (a) Explain why consumer and producer surplus can be used to gauge the change in welfare caused by the export subsidy on individuals and firms? (b) What is the quantity exported by Home under free trade and with the export subsidy? (c) Calculate the effect of the export subsidy on consumer surplus, producer surplus, and government revenue; depict each of these in a graph. What is the overall net effect of the export subsidy on Home welfare?

Hi can you please ONLY help me with the calculations and working of question 5? Imagine a market with demand and supply as follows: D: p=10-q and S: p=q. 1. Find the equilibrium price, quantity, producer and consumer surplus, and total welfare2. Now suppose there is a world price of $1 for the good. Which party (consumers or producers) would refuse to transact at the autarky price? Describe the new equilibrium in terms of: I. Consumer and producer surplus and welfare II. Imports 3. Now suppose a $1 tariff is introduced, making the local price $2. You may assume for now the imposition of a tariff does not change the world price. Compare welfare (including the government tariff revenue)I. With the situation before the tariffII. With the situation in autarky 4. Suppose this country is the only country in the world that demands this good. Derive a world demand for the good over the range from Price = 0 to Price = autarky Price. (hint: The world demand is the demand for imports to this…
The world price of cotton is below the no-trade price in Country X and above the no-trade price in country Y. Using supply and demand diagrams, show and compare the gains from trade in each country. The market for pizza is characterized by a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve. Draw the competitive market equilibrium. Label the price, quantity, consumer and producer surplus. Is there any deadweight loss? Explain. Suppose that the government forces each pizza house to pay a Php2 tax on each pizza sold. Illustrate the effect of this tax on the pizza market. Label the consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and deadweight loss. How does each area compare to the pre-tax case?
Refer to above Figure. Suppose the free-trade price is $85. Also, assume an export subsidy of $10. Calculate the total cost to the government for the export subsidy. $10,000 $14,000 $5,000 $19,000.
