1. Assume the Philippines is an importer of television in the United States. Consumers buy 800,000televisions per year, half of which are produced domestically, and half are imported. Assume thatthe world price is $150 each television. If there were no televisions sold, a local consumer'swillingness to buy is $400 and the costs to sellers is $100.A. Draw a diagram showing the world price, market supply and market demand for televisionin the local market.B. Show and calculate consumer and producer surplus at the world price. Show all the requiredsolutions.C. Suppose the Philippine government restricts the importation of television by putting a 20percent tariff rate. Suppose this tariff rate leads to a fall of the consumers demand to700,000 televisions each year, and local producers supply 500,000 each year. Illustratethese changes in your diagram above. How many televisions should the country imports?Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus.D.…
[India is the world’s largest consumer of sugar. Assume the world price for sugar is $750 per ton.] [Assume India currently has a tariff of $50 per ton on sugar and imports 7 million tons of sugar. Show this situation in a graph. Label the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied domestically and imports clearly on a graph. Explain your graph in 3-4 sentences. 2. [ Suppose India decides to remove the tariff, show the effect of this change on India’s imports on the graph. Clearly label the new domestic quantity demanded and the quantity supplied. You must use the same graph as you have drawn in answer to Part a to show this new scenario. How does this policy affect consumers, producers, and the government in India? You only have to state who benefits or harms from the policy. 3. [Label the areas in your graph and fill in the following table.

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?

Suppose you have the following for white t-shirts market:Market demand is P=125-(3/8)QMarket supply is P=5+(1/8)Q. there is now a global supply that is horizontal at $15. But the government now imposes a tariff of $5 per unit of t-shirt.a. Obviously the world price and domestic price will now be $20. Calculate the quantityproduced and demanded domestically? b. Using graphs show the changes in CS (Consumer Surplus) and PS (Producer Surplus) comparedto Free Trade. Show also the government revenue, which is tariff per t-shirt times the new level of imports. Who gains in comparison to Free Trade scenario? Who loses? What is the welfare gain or loss? Show by using graphs.
International trade can have big effects on domestic markets. For both an import good and an export good (in other words, address each bulleted item below twice—once for import and once for export), describe how opening up to international trade affects the following: supply or demand for the particular good, the competitiveness of that good’s market, and how the change in competitiveness affects equilibrium price and quantity. Stepping away from the import/export examples, describe how opening up to trade specifically affects a domestic monopoly. Include an explanation, using game theory, of how even a single additional competitor can lead to a market outcome similar to perfect competition
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.
1. Welfare effects of free trade in an exporting country Consider the Bolivian market for lemons. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for lemons in Bolivia. Suppose Bolivia's government currently does not allow international trade in lemons. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a tonne of lemons and the equilibrium quantity of lemons in Bolivia in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus in equilibrium.
How do I figure these out? Please show the steps. Thanks. Refer to a graph that shows a domestic market for COVID19 Vaccine in Korea and U.S. to answer the following questions. 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
