Vietnam has a policy of free trade in motorcycles which are sold in world markets at a price of 10,000 per motorcycle.
Under free trade, Vietnam produces 100,000 motorcycles and imports 100,000 motorcycles. To provide some protection
to the domestic industry, Vietnam imposes an import tariff of $1500 per motorcycle. With this tariff in place, production
in Vietnam rises by 5,000 motorcycles and consumption drops by the same amount. Calculate the effects of the tariff on:
a. Consumer Surplus b. Producer Surplus c. Government Revenues d. Overall Welfare e. If the tariff imposed by the
Vietnamese had led to small reduction in world prices of, say, 250 dollars, how, qualitatively, would the welfare
calculations (a), (b), (c) and (d) above change?
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?
