Suppose the market for apples is characterized by the following set of equations: Qs = 100 + 20P (domestic supply function) QD = 500 – 30P (domestic demand function) PW = 4 (world price) a. Given the world price of 4, how much would be the quantity supplied and quantity demanded for apples? Solve for the aforementioned and illustrate this market. Properly label everything.

Consider a small country where the domestic market for sandals is described by the following demand and supply equations, respectively: P = 100 – (1/3)Q and P = 20 + (1/2)Q where P represents the price of a pair of sandals and Q represents the quantity of sandals. The world price for a pair of sandals is $60. Therefore the gains from trade would be
The demand for cars in a certain country is given by: ? = 15,000 − 0.3?, where P is the price of a car. Supply by domestic car producers is: ? = 5,000 + 0.2?. Suppose this economy opens to trade, and the world price of a car is $13,000. If the government imposes a quota allowing 3,000 cars to be imported, then the domestic price of cars will be
The market for pencils has a domestic demand equation P=20−0.5Q�=20−0.5�, and a domestic supply equation P=5+Q�=5+�, where quantity is measured in thousands. The world supply equation for pencils is PW=10��=10. The domestic government decides to implement a tariff of $10 per thousand pencils. As a result of the tariff, the new domestic price of pencils is
Question 31 Consider a small country where the domestic market for sandals is described by the following demand and supply equations, respectively: P = 100 – (1/2)Q and P = 20 + (1/3)Q where P represents the price of a pair of sandals and Q represents the quantity of sandals. The world price for a pair of sandals is $45. Therefore the gains from trade would be $135.00 $102.50 $88.75 $122.50
Scenario 9-1 For a small country called Boxland, the equation of the domestic demand curve for cardboard is QD = 380 − 2P, where QD represents the domestic quantity of cardboard demanded, in tons, and P represents the price of a ton of cardboard. For Boxland, the equation of the domestic supply curve for cardboard is QS = –60 + 3P, where QS represents the domestic quantity of cardboard supplied, in tons, and P again represents the price of a ton of cardboard. Refer to Scenario 9-1. Suppose the world price of cardboard is $139 and international trade is allowed. Then Boxland’s consumers demand Group of answer choices 204 tons of cardboard and Boxland’s producers supply 357 tons of cardboard. 204 tons of cardboard and Boxland’s producers supply 204 tons of cardboard. 102 tons of cardboard and Boxland’s producers supply 204 tons of cardboard. 102 tons of cardboard and Boxland’s producers supply 357 tons of cardboard.
The market for rice in an East Asian country has demand and supply given by QD = 28 – 4P and QS = -12 + 6P, where quantities denote millions of bushels per day. a. If the domestic market is perfectly competitive, find the equilibrium price and quantity of rice. Compute the triangular areas of consumer surplus and producer surplus. b. Now suppose that there are no trade barriers and the world price of rice is $3. Confirm that the country will import rice. Find QD, QS, and the level of imports, QD – QS. Show that the country is better off than in part (a), by again computing consumer surplus and producer surplus. c. The government authority believes strongly in
Consider the market for sneakers. The domestic demand equation is given by P=20−0.6QP=20−0.6Q, and the domestic supply equation is given by P=Q−10P=Q−10. The resulting no-trade equilibrium quantity is Answer and price is Answer. Suppose the world supply equation is P=5P=5. The resulting equilibrium price will be Answer, the total quantity of sneakers purchased is Answer, the quantity of sneakers produced domestically is Answer and the quantity of sneakers imported is then Answer. Suppose the government imposes an import tariff on sneakers of $4 per unit. The new equilibrium price of sneakers is Answer, total imports will decrease by Answer units of sneakers, and the total revenue collected from the tariff is $Answer.
Let us consider the case of Good X in Malaysia. The demand and supply functions for Good X in Malaysia are Demand function: QD=361−2P Supply function: QS=23+P If the world price is 70, then is Malaysia an importer or exporter? Find out the number of imports at Pw=70 (Please give your answers in two decimal places. ) If the import quota was 80 units what will be the new price in the Malaysian market? (Please give your answers in two decimal places.) How many Good X will be produced domestically after the quota has been implemented? (Please give your answers in two decimal places.) How many Good X will be consumed by domestic consumers after the quota has been implemented? (Please give your answers in two decimal places.) What will be the import after implementing an import quota of 80 units (Please give your answers in two decimal places.) What is the percentage change in imports after the imposition of import quota? (Please give your answers in two decimal places, Multiply by 100 to…
Consider a large country with a domestic demand characterized by the inverse demand function P=1000-Q. Domestic supply is represented by the equation P=400+Q. Finally, the world price of the good is 900. You know that an export tariff pass-through is 10%, meaning that foreign price decreases by 10% value of an export tariff t; more generally, 10% of any change in the domestic price is absorbed by the world market. a) Draw a diagram of a free trade case, label imports, consumer and producer surplus. b) Now you want to introduce export quota restrictions q. Calculate the value of the optimal export quota q, which maximizes domestic welfare. Illustrate CS, PS, QR, and DWL on your graph. Calculate their numerical values. c) Would you prefer to use an export quota or an export tariff? Explain why. Why do we see both instruments of trade policy being used? What are the advantages and disadvantages of export quotas compared to export tariffs?
Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given by QD =100 – 2P QS = 2P Assume also that the market is perfectly competitive. 2.1. Compute the equilibrium price P* and quantity Q*. 3.1 Suppose the lumber market described in 2.1 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.
When a large country imposes a tariff for a certain good it imports,it often affects the foreign price of the good as well. Is this statement true? Justify the answer
Q. 1 Assuming that the country is small, compare the welfare effects of placing a tariff on an import with the welfare effects of giving the domestic producers of that good a subsidy for each unit produced. Assume that the tariff and subsidy are equivalent. That is, each one would result in the same increase in domestic production. Draw one diagram for the tariff and another diagram for the subsidy. Then provide an explanation for the differing effects on national welfare.
