Chart 1 below illustrates the tennis shoe market in Canada.
5-1- If Canada did not trade with other countries in this market, then what would be the equilibrium price and quantity in the Canadian tennis shoe market?
The price of tennis shoes in the world market is $ 15.
Suppose Canada opens up to free trade with other countries.
5-2- What would then be the quantity demanded, the quantity supplied, the quantity imported into the Canadian market on the world market?
5-3- Calculate and graphically represent the variation in social surplus brought about by opening up to free trade.
The following graph represents Canada's domestic supply and demand for coffee.Assume that Brazil is the only country producing and selling coffee in the world market.
B) The government opens the market to free trade, and Brazil enters the market, pricingcoffee at $1 per pound.
i. What will happen to the domestic price of coffee?ii. What will be the new domestic quantity supplied and domestic quantity demanded?iii. How much coffee will be imported from Brazil?
The following graph shows the domestic market for oil in the United States, where SDSD is the domestic supply curve, and DDDD is the domestic demand curve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the world price of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of SD+WSD+W, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreign producers together offer domestic consumers. In this case, the free-trade equilibrium (black plus) occurs at a price of $240 per barrel of oil and a quantity of 9 million barrels. At this price, the United States imports 6 million barrels of oil.
Suppose the U.S. government imposes a $60-per-barrel tariff on oil imports.

- The Scenario : Suppose that the market for good X is small in Malaysia and in Thailand , relative to the world market for good X . Both these markets are currently open to free trade . Suppose also that , relative to the rest of the world , Malaysia has a comparative advantage in producing good X whilst Thailand has a comparative disadvantage in producing good X. Malaysian consider good X a normal good , whereas Thais consider good X an inferior good . The Question : Using a set of appropriate diagrams ( with demand and supply curves ), show the comparison between the Malaysian and Thai markets for good X (side by side) - when an economic recession hits both Malaysia and Thailand simultaneously. Explain what happens to the price of good X in each country, as well as the quantity demanded, quantity supplied, and the quantity imported/exported. make sure that you include welfare tables and briefly explain the welfare effects on consumers, producers, and society as a whole - for each…arrow_forwardA small country is considering imposing a tariff on imported wine at the rate of $5 per bottle.
