Please see attachment and show your work . What are the steps and answer with explanation? Please examine the market for AC units below. In this market, the Home nation has imposed a quota limiting the number of AC units that foreign nations are allowed to export into the Home economy. If the home nation increased the level of the quota (theerby allowing more AC units to be imported into the Home economy), then we would expect ___________ to increase in the home economy. 1. consumer surplus 2. producer surplus 3. quota revenue 4. deadweight loss
Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 2PQS = 1/2PAssume also that the market is perfectly competitive.Suppose the lumber market described was closed to the rest of the world. Now it opens to trade and the world price of lumber is 20. Compute the equilibrium price, quantity supplied by domestic producers, and quantity demanded by domestic consumers.2.Use a demand and supply graph to show how consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus change with international trade.3. Now suppose that Country A is a major exporter of lumber to Australia and in an effort to impose sanctions on Country A, Australia imposes a tariff of t=10 on all lumber imported into Australia. Use a graph of supply and demand to show how the tariff changes consumer, producer and total surplus.4. Calculate the equilibrium price, quantity produced and demanded domestically, tariff revenue, and deadweight loss.
China is a major producer of grains, such aswheat, corn, and rice. Some years ago, the Chinesegovernment, concerned that grain exports weredriving up food prices for domestic consumers,imposed a tax on grain exports.a. Draw the graph that describes the market for grainin an exporting country. Use this graph as thestarting point to answer the following questions.b. How does an export tax affect domestic grainprices?c. How does it affect the welfare of domesticconsumers, the welfare of domestic producers,and government revenue?d. What happens to total welfare in China, asmeasured by the sum of consumer surplus,producer surplus, and tax revenue?
Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically 80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linear schedules, 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 C imposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. Summarise and analyse the quantity of steel produced, consumed and imported in Country C. Analyse and discuss the welfare gain from trade in Country C. Show your answers of the steel market with a proper diagram.
1. Your textbook discusses the benefits of cheaper imports on pages 171-173. Draw a graph that shows the effects on consumer and producer surplus (gain or loss) that result from a country importing a good. 2. Recently, China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 115 – 1/15Q Supply: P = 55 + 1/15Q Where P is Yuan per bushel of soybeans and Q is 10 million bushels per year. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel. Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including the Domestic Demand curve, Domestic Supply curve, the World Price, and the Price with tariffs. 3. How many bushels of soybeans can the US export to China if there are no tariffs? How many bushels with the imposed tariff? 4. Who are the greatest benefactors of China’s…

Suppose Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of 100 US dollars per tonne, Home growersexport 20 tons of wheat. Now suppose the Home government decides to support its domestic producers withan specific export subsidy of 40 US dollars per tonne. Use Figure 1 to answer the following question A. ) 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?
