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.

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.
