5. A graphical comparison of tariffs and quotas Alagir and Ertil are small countries that protect their economic growth from rapidly advancing globalization by limiting the import of rugs to 20 million. To this end, each country imposes a different type of trade barrier when the world price (Pw) is $2,000. In Alagir, the government decides to impose a tariff of $3,000 per rug; in Ertil, the government implements a quota of 20 million rugs. Assume that Alagir and Ertil have identical domestic demand (Do) and supply (S) curves for rugs as shown on the following graph. Under these conditions, the price of rugs is $5,000 per rug in each country. 10000 ( ) 8000 8000 7000 8000 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 0 0 Pu 10 Do 20 D₁ XX ✩ XX 30 40 50 60 70 QUANTITY (Millions of rugs) 80 S 90 100 (?)
For a small country called Boxland, the equation of the domestic demand curve for cardboard isQD= 200 – 2P, where QD represents the domestic quantity of cardboard demanded, in tons, and P represents the price of a ton of cardboard. For Boxland, the equation of the domestic supply curve for cardboard is Q$ = -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 $45. Then, relative to the no-trade situation, international trade in cardboard produces which of the following results for Boxland? O a. It decreases consumer surplus, increases producer surplus, and increases total surplus. Ob. It increases consumer surplus, decreases producer surplus, and increases total surplus. O C. It increases consumer surplus, decreases producer surplus, and decreases total surplus. O d. It increases consumer surplus, increases producer surplus, and increases…

If Boxland prohibits international trade in cardboard, then the equilibrium price of a ton of cardboard is
Consider that the current world price for copper ore is $5.20 per pound. Suppose the domestic market for copper ore in Chile is described by the following demand and supply equations, respectively: P = 8.80 -0.015Q and P = 0.8 +0.025Q, where P is the price per pound, measured in dollars, and Q is the quantity measured in thousands of pounds per month. Similarly, suppose that the domestic market for copper ore in Japan is described by the following demand and supply equations: P = 6.80 -0.02Q and P = 0.8 +0.04Q, where P is the price per pound, measured in dollars, and Q is the quantity measured in thousands of pounds per month. (Question 7 of 8) After receiving requests from lobbyists and domestic producers, the government of the importing country imposes a tariff of $0.30 in the market for copper ore.
