Effects of a tariff on international trade The following graph shows the domestic demand for and supply of oranges in Honduras. The world price (PW��) of oranges is $535 per ton and is displayed as a horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that all countries under consideration are small, that is, the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of oranges and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in oranges. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. A graph plots domestic supply and demand for oranges in Honduras with price in dollars per ton on the y-axis ranging from 500 to 850 in increments of 35 and quantity in tons of oranges on the x-axis ranging from 0 to 400 in increments of 40. The graph plots a downward sloping straight line curve labeled domestic demand ranging from (0, 850) to (400, 500),…arrow_forwardSuppose you are working as a manager of an organic grocery store and want to analyze how income affects grocery spending.
