In the world market, a pair of shoes from China is sold for $40 and that from Mexico is $50. U.S. made shoes are $70 a pair. Initially U.S. does not belong to any free trade agreement and imposes an ad valorem tariff of 30%. Later, the U.S. joins a free trade agreement with Mexico and remove all trade barriers including tariffs. The import demand function for the U.S. is Q = 280 – 4P. (Hint: Draw the import demand curve of the world market as shown in the examples on the textbook and lecture slides.) 13. How much will the U.S. government tariff revenue change (as a result of this free trade agreement? а. Increase by $144 O b. Decrease by $720 C. Decrease by $800 O d. Decrease by $864

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.
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?
Suppose the domestic supply (QS) and demand (QD) for MP3 players in the United States are given by the following set of equations:QS = -25 + 10PQD = 875 – 5PIn autarky (in the absence of international trade), the consumer surplus in the United States' MP3 player market is ___________.
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
