Q3: Using a domestic-market demand- and supply-curve graph, show the impact of tariff on a small country's import price, domestic demand, domestic supply, import quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and total welfare; Is the country unambiguously worse off as a result of the tariff? In the same graph, show how to achieve the same import quantity with an import quota; When would the tariff and the import quota lead to the same amount of welfare change? How will the answer to (a) and (b) change if the country uses a subsidy that is equivalent to the tariff rate to help domestic producers? How would the answers to (a) and (b) change for a large country? Your answer:
What happens to the equilibrium price and quantity when a country sets a low or medium tariff or import quota? Group of answer choices The equilibrium price and quantity will be lower than with no trade. The equilibrium price and quantity will be somewhere between those that prevail with no trade and those with completely free trade. The equilibrium price and quantity will be the same as with no trade. The equilibrium price will be lower, and the quantity will be higher than the case with no trade.
Suppose a per-unit tariff of $10 is imposed on imported cell phones. After the tariff: - The quantity demanded is 10 million - The quantity supplied domestically is 2 million Calculate the amount of tax revenue collected due to the tariff.
Suppose the world price for a good is 40 and the domestic demand-and-supply curves are given by the following equations: Demand: P = 80 – 2Q Supply: P = 5 + 3Q 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 domestic production change? What is the change in consumer and producer surplus? How much revenue does the government earn from the tariff? What is the net national cost of the tariff?
Explain why a quota may result in lower total surplus in the home country than a tariff, even if they have the same effect on imports and the domestic price.
Refer to the diagram below, where Sd and Dd are the domestic supply and demand for a product, Pt is the domestic price with a tariff, and Pc is the world price of that product. Open this image in a program or approximate this drawing on paper and color in the area that represents gains from trade if the country imposes a tariff .
TRUE OR FALSE? EXPLAIN. To protect an industry, it is best when the Effective Rate of Protection is higher than the Normal Rate of Protection. For a Tariff-Rate Quota, the government imposes an import tariff and an import quota. The formation of Free Trade Areas and Custom Unions leads to free trade between all countries. Immiserizing growth takes place when there is an increase in growth and trade of a country. In the U.S, countervailing duties are levied on imported goods if they receive an export subsidy from the foreign government.
Domestic demand for natural gas in a small economy is characterized by the equation P= 350-5Q, domestic supply is characterized by the equation (Q= 0.5.P+ 35, and the world price is equal to $60. An export tariff of $6 per unit will result in a net welfare loss of 14.6 lead to an export level that is less than half of the original amount lead to a loss in consumer surplus result in tariff revenue that is larger than the loss in producer surplus
State whether each group would benefit, lose, or have no effect as a result of the tariff imposed in the previous question. Explain your answers. Domestic sellers Consumers Foreign sellers Government Workers in the importing industry.
Scenario & Question 7: A country decides to impose higher tariffs on imported goods to encourage domestic production. This policy change impacts the circular flow of income and expenditure by altering the dynamics of international trade. In this scenario, the imposition of tariffs on imports primarily: A) Acts as a leakage in the circular flow B) Functions as an injection into the circular flow C ) Has no significant impact on the circular flow D) Reduces government expenditure in the circularflow
The figure shows a country’s domestic supply and demand curves for a good, as well as the world price, Pw, for the good that it faces, as a small country, on the world market. Initially, the country is exporting X1 units of that good at that price. Suppose that producers in this industry lobby policy makers to provide them with some sort of assistance to help them export even more. Policy makers are considering an export subsidy. What area represents the cost of this subsidy to the government (taxpayers)? Group of answer choices b+c+d a+b+c+d c+d a+b+c
