Scenario & Question 7: A country decides to impose higher tariffs on imported goods to encourage domestic production. This policy change impacts the circular flow of income and expenditure by altering the dynamics of international trade. In this scenario, the imposition of tariffs on imports primarily: A) Acts as a leakage in the circular flow B) Functions as an injection into the circular flow C ) Has no significant impact on the circular flow D) Reduces government expenditure in the circularflow

Q65 If Canada can produce both cannabis and soybeans more efficiently, that is, with smaller absolute amounts of resources, than Brazil, then: Multiple Choice Brazil should impose tariffs. then there is no possible basis for mutually advantageous specialization and trade between Canada and Brazil. we can conclude that Canada is an industrially advanced economy and Brazil is a developing economy. it will necessarily be advantageous for Brazil to import both cannabis and soybeans from Canada. mutually advantageous specialization and trade between Canada and Brazil may still be possible.
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. Because this country exports steel, the world price is represented by(p1 or p2) . 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 (reamins unchanged, decrease, and increase) , the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers (reamins unchanged, decrease, and increase) , and the quantity of steel exported (reamins unchanged, decrease, and increase) . True or False: With the export subsidy, this country will start importing steel from abroad. Under the export subsidy, consumer surplus is…
