There are three countries in the world: Country A, Country B, and Country C. These countries have the following domestic demand and supply functions for product Y; SA=30PA, DA=400-10P; SB=40PB, DB=320-40P; Sc=40Pc, Dc=240-40Pc, where subscripts denote countries of the corresponding variables. Country A imposes a specific tariff of $3 on imported Y regardless of its import source. Characterize the trade equilibrium of this three-country world under this tariff, and do welfare analysis of this policy for Country A. The world equilibrium price of product Y under this tariff = ( Country A (imports/exports/does not trade) product Y (from/to) ( Country B (imports/exports/does not trade) product Y (from/to) ( ). ) in the amount of ( ) in the amount of (

Can a Japanese firm assembling e-Rickshaws in India after importing parts from subsidiaries in other Asian countries use transfer pricing to enhance its profits? How can governments determine that foreign firms are not using it to manipulate compliance?
Consider two countries, i = {Spain, France} each having the following inverse demand function: P = 20 − 2Q Assume that there is only one firm in each country with the following cost function: TC = 2q Transport costs are absent. a) Start by considering a situation of autarky. Determine the equilibrium quantity and price in Spain. b) Compute total welfare in Spain under autarky (the sum of the consumer and producer surpluses). c) Now suppose that Spain opens up to international trade. Firms compete in quantities and transport costs are absent. In equilibrium determine (i) the quantity sold by the Spanish firm in Spain; (ii) the quantity sold by the French firm in Spain; (iii) the quantity sold by the Spanish firm in France; and (iv) the price of the good in Spain. d) Compute total welfare in Spain (the sum of the consumer and producer surpluses).

Consider a single country and a single good. The demand curve for this good is given by QD = 144 - 4P. Thereare two firms serving the market: Firm A and Firm B, where Firm A has a marginal cost of $20 and Firm B hasa marginal cost of $16. There are no fixed costs incurred by either firm. Firm A produces 16 units and firm B produces 32 units. The equilibrium price is $24. Total Profit for Firm A = $64 Total Profit for Firm B = $256 Assume that these firms compete in Cournot fashion. What is the consumer surplus? Show your work.
Based on the Brander and Spencer model, if the domestic firm’s profit function is π (x, y, m) = xp(x+y) – c(x) -mx and foreign firm’s profit function is π (x, y) = yp (x +y) -c(x)). M is the charge imposed by the government on exports. Describe the effect on x and y.

In an economy, a manufacturing company produces 1,000 units of a product at a total cost of $10,000. If the government imposes a tariff of $2 per unit on imported raw materials used in production, and the company is also subject to a corporate tax rate of 15%, calculate the new total cost of production after considering the cost of tariff and taxation. Assume no other costs are affected.

A firm sells a good to both UK and EU customers. The demand function is the same for both markets and is given by 20Pi + Qi = 5000 where the subscript, i, takes the values 1 and 2 corresponding to the UK and EU, respectively. Although the variable and fixed costs are the same for each market, the EU now charges a fixed tariff of $50 per unit, so the joint total cost function is TC = 40Q1 + 90Q2 + 2000 Find the maximum total profit
According to an article in China Daily, China recently accelerated its plan to privatize tens of thousandsof state-owned firms. Imagine that you are an aide to a senator on the Foreign RelationsCommittee of the U.S. Senate, and you have been asked to help the committee determine the priceand quantity that will prevail when competitive forces are allowed to equilibrate the market. The bestestimates of the market demand and supply for the good (in U.S. dollar equivalent prices) are given byQd = 10 − 2P and Qs = 2 + 2P, respectively. Determine the competitive equilibrium price.
If economy is open to foreign trade of good X, imposing a tariff will reduce total surplus (total surplus being defined as consumer + producer surplus). Which of the following ideas best describes why we observe tariffs being use in practice? Basically, what is the effect of tarrifs? a. The government can be under political pressure to implement inefficient economic policy. b. The tariff revenue raised will outweigh efficiency losses. c. Economic analysis does not fully explain efficiency losses. d. Economic stability is not often a political incentive.
Clearly explain using a GRAPH, how a tariff barrier can be effectively used to protect domestic industry, for which the supply curve is perfectly elastic.
