consider the domestic demand for apples to be given by Qd= 25-0.5P and that apples can be imported at an international price of $40 per basket. if the government percieves this price to be too high and decides to subsidize imports by $20 per basket. this policy will increase the imports of apples by ____ and create a deadweight loss of ____. a) 5 units, $20 b) 20 units, $800 c) 15 units, $50 d) 10 units, $100
Please solve 4th,5th,6th Suppose the world price for a good is 100 and the domestic demand-and supply curves are given by the following equations Demand: P=160-Q Supply: P= 10 + 15Q How much is consumed? How much is produced at home? What are the values of consumer and producer surplus? If a tariff of 10 percent is imposed, by how much do consumption and dopest production change? What is the change in consumer and producer surplus? How much revenue does the government earn from tariff?
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
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. ecause this country exports steel, the world price is represented by . 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 , the quantity of steel produced by domestic producers , and the quantity of steel exported . True or False: With the export subsidy, domestic producers will sell steel to domestic consumers and sell the rest abroad. True False Under the export subsidy, consumer surplus is and producer surplus is . Government revenue by (increases or Decreases) . As a…
Consider two countries, home and foreign and a single good, Y. Assume that home country imports good Y from foreign country. The import demand curve for good Y in home country is given by: MD = 170 – 2PY and the export supply curve for good Y in Foreign country is given by: EX = PY – 40. A) 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.
Question 2 Suppose that the demand curve for vegetable fibre in Euroland is given by QD = 40 − 2P , and that the supply curve is given by QS = 2/3 (P) (i.e. two thirds of P). The world price of vegetable fibre is €9 per unit. Suppose the Euroland government imposes a tariff of €3 per unit. The level of imports of vegetable fibre after the tariff will be A. 12 units B. 8 units C. 4 units D. 16 units Full explain this question and text typing work only thanks
. The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S. consumers is given by the demand curve Qd = 150 − 10P, where Qd is quantity (in millions of pounds) and P is the market price per pound of coffee. Suppose the domestic supply is Qs = 10P −50. The U.S. coffee market is competitive. Suppose that the world price of coffee is $6. Congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound. (a) Find the producer and consumer surplus if there was no trade. (b) Calculate the consumer and producer surplus after we engage in free trade. (c) If the tariff is imposed calculate the changes to consumer and producer surplus. (d) Other than lower prices, provide two benefits that can occur as a result of free trade.
The nation of Bermuda is “small” and assumed to be unable to affect world prices. It importsstrawberries at the price of 10 dollars per box. The Domestic Supply and Domestic Demand curvesfor boxes are:S = 60 + 20PD = 1160 − 15P(a) if the import quota is 400 boxes then what is new equilibrium price.
Assume that you have been hired by an International Organization to be consulted on variousissues that the country Motherland faces. For this exercise, assume that Motherland is a smallagricultural economy. (a) Motherland imports electronics from the United States. The government of Motherland is considering to impose quotas on these electronics imports coming from the United States. Would you recommend it? Explain your answer. In your explanation, distinguish the effect on the consumers of electronics, the domestic producers of electronics and the government. (b)The government of Motherland wants to jump start industrial production. Over time the main objective is to convert this agricultural economy into an industrial nation. On the basis of the experiences of Argentina and Singapore, what policies would you suggest?
1) Assume that the domestic supply and demand for a good are given by the following equations. Q = 500 – 20 P Q = 80 + 10 P a) If the world price is $10 what is the free trade level of imports? Calculate the net welfare effects of a quota of 60 units. (Quota rent goes to foreign suppliers ( VERS) . Use also graph to show the effects of this quota. b) If %30 tariff imposed on the world price(10$) , what will be net welfare effects? Compare this welfare effect with the one in (a) and comment.
