Suppose Zambia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Since Zambia is small relative to the international market, the demand forand supply of soybeans in Zambia have no impact on the world price.

Show graphically that for any tariff, there is an equivalent quota that would give the same result. What would be the difference, then, between the two types of trade barriers? Hint: It is not something you can see from the graph.
Because Zambia participates in international trade in the market for soybeans, it will import tons of soybeans. Now suppose the Zambian government decides to impose a tariff of $10 on each imported ton of soybeans. Under the tariff, the price Zambian consumers pay for a ton of soybeans becomes , and Zambia will import tons of soybeans. Use the following graph to show the effects of the $10 tariff
bottom half When Venezuela allows free trade of soybeans, the price of a ton of soybeans in Venezuela will be $350. At this price, tons of soybeans will be demanded in Venezuela, and tons will be supplied by domestic suppliers. Therefore, Venezuela will export tons of soybeans. Using the information from the previous tasks, complete the following table to analyze the welfare effect of allowing free trade. Without Free Trade With Free Trade (Dollars) (Dollars) Consumer Surplus Producer Surplus When Venezuela allows free trade, the country's consumer surplus decrease or increase by , and producer surplus decrease or increase by . So, the net effect of international trade on Venezuela's total surplus is a loss or gain of .

Consider the Colombian market for soybeans. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose Colombia's government currently does not allow international trade in soybeans. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of soybeans and the equilibrium quantity of soybeans in Colombia in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus in equilibrium. Based on the previous graph, total surplus in the absence of international trade is . The following graph shows the same domestic demand and supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose that the Colombian government changes its international trade policy to allow free trade in soybeans. The horizontal black line (PWPW) represents the world…
3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is PWPW = $250 per tonne. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS). If Kenya allows international trade in the market for wheat, it will import tonnes of wheat. Now suppose the Kenyan government decides to impose a tariff of $60 on each imported tonne of wheat. After the tariff, the price Kenyan consumers pay for a tonne of wheat is , and Kenya will import tonnes of wheat. Show the effects of the…
Suppose the market price for solar panels in the U.S. will be $500 per panel in the absence of any trade in solar panels. The price of solar panels in the world market is $295 per panel. What will be the price of solar panels in the U.S. if the U.S. has free trade in solar panels? Diagrammatically show the gains from trade in solar panels. (Change in welfare as a result of free trade in solar panels compared to the situation of no trade. Show how the different components of welfare such as consumer surplus and producer surplus change.) Now suppose the Trump administration imposes a quota. That is, it says that it will allow the import of only 10 million panels a year (With free trade the imports would have been more than 10 million). Will the price of solar panels rise or fall in the US? Who will gain from the quota? Who will lose? Diagrammatically show the welfare impact of the quota compared to the free trade (Again show the change in welfare in terms of consumer surplus, producer…
The graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply for soybeans. Assume this country is open to international trade, that soybeans are a perfectly competitive good, and that the world price of soybeans is $30.(look at image) Suppose a tariff of $10 is imposed. What price will result in this country? $_____ After the tariff is imposed, how many units of soybeans will be imported? ______ units
The following graph shows the domestic market for oil in the United States, where SDSD is the domestic supply curve, and DDDD is the domestic demand curve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the world price of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of SD+WSD+W, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreign producers together offer domestic consumers. In this case, the free-trade equilibrium (black plus) occurs at a price of $240 per barrel of oil and a quantity of 9 million barrels. At this price, the United States imports 6 million barrels of oil. Suppose the U.S. government imposes a $60-per-barrel tariff on oil imports.
Assume that under free trade the U.S. can import good x from France for $50 and domestic consumption and production are 14 million and 6 million respectively. This is the free trade price at which the U.S. consumes good x. a) Summarize the above information in a graph and label it carefully. b) Now assume that the U.S. places a tariff of $5 + 15% of the free trade price of good x. Describe the type of tariff imposed and calculate the tariff per unit of good x. c) Assume the tariff above changes domestic consumption to 12 million and production to 8 million. Show this on a graph. [Please draw a new graph for this question and label it carefully.]. Calculate and explain who gains and who loses and the net effect on domestic welfare due to the tariff compared with free trade. d) Now assume that instead of a tariff, the U.S. imposed a quota on good x with similar results on price and quantity. This means that the quota is the same amount as imports under a tariff and the new price due to…
