A tariff is a tax on imported goods. Suppose the U.S. government cuts the tariff on imported flat screen televisions. Using the four-step analysis, how do you think the tariff reduction will affect the equilibrium price and quantity of flat screen TVS?
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.
1. Assume the Philippines is an importer of television in the United States. Consumers buy 800,000televisions per year, half of which are produced domestically, and half are imported. Assume thatthe world price is $150 each television. If there were no televisions sold, a local consumer'swillingness to buy is $400 and the costs to sellers is $100.A. Draw a diagram showing the world price, market supply and market demand for televisionin the local market.B. Show and calculate consumer and producer surplus at the world price. Show all the requiredsolutions.C. Suppose the Philippine government restricts the importation of television by putting a 20percent tariff rate. Suppose this tariff rate leads to a fall of the consumers demand to700,000 televisions each year, and local producers supply 500,000 each year. Illustratethese changes in your diagram above. How many televisions should the country imports?Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus.D.…
Suppose the nation of Isoland is an importer of textiles and is looking for a way to raise government revenue. The following graph shows the effect of a tariff on textile imports. Price of TextilesQuantity of TextilesDemand Supply PWPW+TABCDEFGQS,1QS,2QD,2QD,1 Having rejected a tariff on textiles (a tax on imports), the president of Isoland is now considering the same-sized tax on textile consumption (including both imported and domestically produced textiles). Compared to the free trade scenario, the quantity of textiles consumed in Isoland will , and the quantity produced in Isoland will under a textile consumption tax.

How do I figure these out? Please show the steps. Thanks. Refer to a graph that shows a domestic market for COVID19 Vaccine in Korea and U.S. to answer the following questions. Suppose that each country is an open economy and the world price of vaccine is $30. Which country is an importing country? (How do I figure this out?) How much is the amount of import? Which country is an exporting country? How much is the amount of export? 2) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, total surplus, and gains from trade in Korea. Also, do the same for the U.S. Thanks
The demand for cameras in a certain country is given by D = 8000 – 30P, where P is the price of acamera. Supply by domestic camera producers is S = 4000 + 10P. If this economy opens to tradewhile the world price of a camera is $50, and the government imposes a tariff of $30 per camera,what will be the quantity of cameras that this country imports or exports?
