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.
Assume the United States is an importer of televisionsand there are no trade restrictions. U.S. consumersbuy 1 million televisions per year, of which 400,000 areproduced domestically and 600,000 are imported.a. Suppose that a technological advance amongJapanese television manufacturers causes theworld price of televisions to fall by $100. Draw agraph to show how this change affects the welfareof U.S. consumers and U.S. producers and how itaffects total surplus in the United States.b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.2 milliontelevisions, of which 200,000 are produced domesticallyand 1 million are imported. Calculate thechange in consumer surplus, producer surplus,and total surplus from the price reduction.c. If the government responded by putting a$100 tariff on imported televisions, what wouldthis do? Calculate the revenue that would beraised and the deadweight loss. Would it be agood policy from the standpoint of U.S. welfare?Who might support the policy?d. Suppose that the…

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
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.

Suppose the following figure shows the domestic market for hockey sticks in a certain country. Thegovernment has recently imposed tariffs on hockey sticks. While the world price of a hockey stick is$60, the price in this country (with the tariff) is $75. a. How did the quantity of imports change when the government imposed a tariff?b. How much does the government earn from the tariff?c. How does the value of consumer surplus change after the tariff is introduced?d. How does the value of producer surplus change after the tariff is introduced?e. What is the value of the deadweight loss from the tariff?f. What is the value of social surplus after the tariff? How will social surplus change if the tariff iseliminated and the price of hockey sticks falls to the world price?
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.
