Export subsidies result in a welfare loss to the home country due to the protective and consumption effects. In order to determine the magnitude ofthese effects, you must compare the change in consumer and producers surplus against the cost of the subsidy.On the previous graph, use the green quadrilateral (triangle symbols) to indicate the loss in consumer surplus due to the export subsidy. Then use thepurple quadrilateral (diamond symbols) to indicate the gain in producer surplus as a result of the export subsidy.The taxpayer cost of the export subsidy equalsUsing all of the previous information, compute the value of deadweight loss in Canada as a result of the export subsidy.Deadweight Loss = Loss in Consumer Surplus + Cost of Subsidy - Gain in Producer Surplus$ 8. Agricultural export subsidies in a small nationThe following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Dc is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price ofwheat. Assume that Canada is a relatively small producer of wheat, so changes in its output do not affect the world price of wheat. Also assume thatCanada is currently open to free trade, and domestic consumers are able to purchase wheat at the world price with negligible transportation costs.Suppose a subsidy of $80 per ton is granted to exporters in Canada, allowing them to sell their products abroad at prices below their costs. Assumethat trade restrictions are also put in place in order to prevent domestic consumers from buying wheat abroad at the world price.Use the grey line (star symbols) to indicate the world price of wheat plus the subsidy on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) toindicate the price of wheat in Canada and the quantity demanded at that price. Finally, use the tan point (dash symbol) to indicate the price of wheatreceived by Canadian producers with the subsidy and the quantity of wheat they will supply at that price.?PRICE (Dollars per ton)40036032028024020016012080400Dc0 200xP₁W400Sc600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000QUANTITY (Tons)Pw+ SubsidyWQin Canada-Q in CanadaLoss in CSGain in PS

6 a) What will be the price of solar panels in the U.S. if the U.S. has free trade in solar panels? Diagrammatically show the gains from trade in solar panels. (Change in welfare as a result of free trade in solar panels compared to the situation of no trade. Show how the different components of welfare such as consumer surplus and producer surplus change.) b) Now suppose the Trump administration imposes a quota. That is, it says that it will allow the import of only 10 million panels a year (With free trade the imports would have been more than 10 million). Will the price of solar panels rise or fall in the US? Who will gain from the quota? Who will lose? Diagrammatically show the welfare impact of the quota compared to the free trade situation. (Again show the change in welfare in terms of consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue etc. You can assume that the government auctions quota licenses.) c) Now suppose that instead of imposing a quota, the Trump administration…
5. Demand is given by QD = 6000 - 50P. Domestic supply is QS = 25P. Foreign producers can supply any quantity at a price of $40. A. If foreign producers can sell in the domestic market, what is the equilibrium price? What is the equilibrium quantity? How much is sold by domestic and foreign producers, respectively? B. Under domestic government pressure, foreign producers voluntarily agree to restrict their goods. What will happen to the price and quantity? What will happen to the amount that domestic producers supply? What will happen to revenues of domestic and foreign producers?
Assume that the markets for sugar cane, rum and whiskey are initially in equilibrium (i.e., supply equals demand in each case). Assume further that a good harvest impacts the world's sugar cane crop.

1. 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. a. If there is no tariff, how much do consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded? b. If the tariff is imposed, how much will consumers pay for a pound of coffee? What is the quantity demanded? c. Calculate the lost consumer surplus. d. Calculate the tax revenue collected by the government. e. Does the tariff result in a net gain or a net loss to society as a whole?
