- Question 12 One of Morocco's top import goods is wheat. Domestic market demand is described as Qn = 69 – 3P, and domestic producers supply wheat according to the function Qs = (5/6)P, where Q is measured in millions of bushels. The perfectly competitive world price of wheat is $6 per bushel. million bushels of wheat are imported under the competitive world price. Suppose the Moroccan government introduces an import quota equal to 23 million bushels of wheat. The new price is $_ per bushel of wheat. million. You must draw and label a graph that As a result of this import quota, domestic producers gain $. enables the TA to follow all of your intermediate steps. Suppose the Moroccan government wanted to achieve the same outcome (reduce imports to 23 million bushels of wheat) with a tariff instead. Relative to the import quota equilibrium, a tariff would cause market efficiency to _million.

Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 11.5 – Q Supply: P = 5.5 + Q Price is in 10 Yuan (¥) per bushel of soybeans and the units for Quantity are 100 million bushels per year. This is to make graphing simpler. This does NOT mean that the price is 10 and quantity is 100. Rather it means that if the price was 40¥ and the quantity was 7,500,000,000 bushels, this would plot as 4 and 7.5 respectively. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel (this would graph as a horizontal line at 6.5). Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including: Domestic Demand curve (D), Domestic Supply curve (S), the World Price (WP), and the Price with tariffs (PT), along with the quantities imported both with and without the tariff.
