What would happen to world welfare if the United States paid exporters a subsidy of $5 for every pair of blue jeans they sold to Canada, but Canada charged a $5 countervailing duty on every pair imported into Canada? Would the United States gain from the combi- nation of the export subsidy and import tariff? Would Canada? Explain. (In your answer, assume that the blue jeans market is perfectly competitive.) Consider the case

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?
Assume a perfectly competitive market and the exporting country is small. Using a demand and supply diagram, show the impact of increasing standards on a low-income exporter of toys. Show the tariffs impact. Is the effect on toy prices the same or different? Why is a standards policy preferred to tariffs?

6 a) 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.) b) 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 situation. (Again show the change in welfare in terms of consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue etc. You can assume that the government auctions quota licenses.) c) Now suppose that instead of imposing a quota, the Trump administration…
6. Suppose the market demand curve for cranberries is given by the equationQd = 500 - 4P, while the market supply curve for cranberries (when P ≥ 50) isdescribed by the equation Qs = -100 + 2P, where P is the price of cranberriesexpressed in dollars per barrel, and quantity (Qd or Qs) is in thousands ofbarrels per year. At what price and quantity is the market for cranberries inequilibrium? Show this equilibrium graphically.
Tornado Bulbul hits Bangladesh and affects the crops and fish hatcheries in the coastal areas.What will happen to shrimp production if the hatcheries were affected due to the tornado? Howwill it affect the equilibrium price and quantity of the local shrimp market? On the other hand, if aneighboring country, who exports crops and fishes to Bangladesh, experiences a bumper harvestand export their surplus products to us, say shrimp, what will happen to the equilibrium price andquantity of local shrimp market again in Bangladesh? Draw a diagram and explain your answer.
a) Suppose that in the production of computer software, the marginal rate of technical substitution between engineers and marketer is 5 for IBM and 3 for Microsoft. Explain why this outcome violates the condition for efficiency in production and how a voluntary exchange could make both companies better off. b) Ignoring rationing problems and black markets, under rent control (or any price ceiling that produces a shortage) the price paid by consumers equals the marginal cost of producing the good. Does this mean the output level is efficient? Explain. c) What does the contract curve in an Edgeworth production box signify? Why do competitive markets generate equilibriums that lie on the contract curve?
Part F. If home country imposes a specific tariff of $15 per unit of good Y imported, what is the tariff revenue? Show your work. Part G. Assume that instead of a specific tariff, an import quota will be used on good Y. What is the amount of the quota that will have identical effects (in terms of amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y) as the specific tariff of $15? Explain your reasoning. Part H. Consider the use of import tariff vs. import quota in Home country that will result in the same amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y. If quota rents are given to Foreign country, which policy, i.e., import tariff vs. import quota, is preferable by Home country on the basis of its effect on social welfare? Explain your reasoning.
13. Given that the U.S. government mandates the use of ethanol as a partial substitute for gasoline (10% by volume), and that ethanol manufactured in the U.S. is made from corn; how will the supply of ethanol, the demand for ethanol, as well as its equilibrium price and quantity, be affected by the following event: The negotiation of a trade agreement with Brazil that allows importation of Brazilian ethanol produced from sugar cane. May be multiple answers f) Equilibrium Quantity will increase. h) Equilibrium Price will increase. j) Equilibrium Price and Quantity will remain unchanged. d) Supply will increase. g) Equilibrium Quantity will decrease. e) Supply will decrease. i) Equilibrium Price will decrease. c) Demand will decrease. b) Demand will increase. a) To the extent the amount of ethanol additive in gasoline is determined by government fiat, neither demand for not supply of…
The annual demand for imported oranges is given by the following equation:?? = 600,000 − 30,000?where ? is the price per kilogram and ?? is quantity of kilograms demanded per year.The supply of imported oranges is given by the equation:?? = 20,000? a. Suppose that a $1-per-gallon tax is levied on the price of oranges received by sellers. Use both graphic and algebraic techniques to show the impact of the tax on market equilibrium
