Suppose that cheap cloth is imported from China for production of readymade garments and at the same time tourism in Pakistan increases bringing many more buyers of ready-made garments in the market. What will be impact on equilibrium price and…
Suppose that initially, the gasoline market is in equilibrium. War in the Middle East disrupts imports of oil into the United States shifting the supply curve to S2. The price of gasoline begins to rise, and consumers protest. The government intervenes and sets a price ceiling of $3 per gallon. Use the graph below to answer questions
What are the original equilibrium price and quantity?
What is the equilibrium price and quantity after the Middle East war begins (S2)?
If the price ceiling is imposed, what will occur? A surplus or shortage?

How are suppliers affected?
If the size of a tariff raises the price of an imported item $20 per unit which in turn reduces the quantity of imports by 10%, what would be the effect on the price of an imported item, if the Government imposed a 10% import quota, which requires imports to fall by 10%

Also show how the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity change. Show work on 3 different graphs. With lower trade barriers, foreign automakers export more cars to the U.S. U.S. automobile workers unionize. Due to research and development (R&D), new technologies enable automakers to produce cars much faster.arrow_forward
- Graphically show how each of the following shifts the supply curve. Also identify which factor of supply is being affected in each case. What happens to the supply of Spices if the US government withdraws an embargo on imported Spices from Iran?arrow_forwardWith the recent war between Russia and Ukraine, the production and thus exports of wheat have declined (which increased the price of such exports), because Ukraine is the major producer and exporter of the same. As a result, what can we expect in the market for rice, used by many as a staple instead of wheat? a) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will decrease b) The equilibrium price will increase, the equilibrium quantity will increase c) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will increase d) The equilibrium price will decrease, the equilibrium quantity will decreasearrow_forwardThe 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.

What will be the new domestic quantity supplied and domestic quantity demanded?iii. How much coffee will be imported from Brazil?arrow_forward
- Suppose the world price of oil is $15 per barrel. At that price, the United States imports 400 million barrels daily and consumes 600 million barrels daily. The government then imposes a $5 per barrel tax on oil imports. For every dollar increase in oil prices, domestic consumption decreases by 20 million barrels per day, while domestic production increases by 40 million barrels per day. 3. What will be the cost of inefficient production, loss in consumer surplus, and deadweight loss? Use a diagram to help answer the question.arrow_forwardSuppose that the world price of a gallon of gasoline is $2.00 dollars per barrel and the US can buy all the gas it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for gasoline in the US are as follows: Price ($ per gallon) US Quantity demanded US quantity supplied $1.00 65 35 $1.50 60 40 $2.00 55 45 $2.50 50 50 $3.00 45 55 Suppose the US imposes a $.50 tax per gallon on imported gas. What quantity would Americans buy? How much of this would be supplied by American producers? How much would be imported?

- Suppose the U.S. government increases the amount of steel that can be exported to foreign countries. What will happen in the domestic market for steel? A.) The domestic demand for steel will increase, leading to a lower equilibrium quantity. B.) The domestic supply of steel will decrease, leading to a higher equilibrium quantity. C.) The domestic supply of steel will increase, leading to a lower equilibrium quantity. D.) The domestic demand for steel will decrease, leading to a higher equilibrium quantity.arrow_forwardConcerned about the political fallout from rising gas prices, suppose that the U.S. government imposes a price ceiling of $3.00 a gallon on gasoline. Explain how the market for gasoline would react to this price ceiling if a global shortage of oil sent the equilibrium price of gasoline to $3.50 a gallon. Would the U.S. gasoline market be efficient?arrow_forwardSome government agricultural policies involve price controls. Other agriculturalpolicies, however, involve quantity controls. The equilibrium price of wheat is $5 and the equilibrium quantity is 100 bushels, as shown in the diagram on the right. Suppose the government institutes a policy that prohibits wheat farmers from growing more than 60 bushels of wheat in total. How would this policy change the supply curve for wheat? Use your supply and demand diagram to show that the government policy would raise the equilibrium price and lower the equilibrium quantity of wheat. Show that the policy will lead to a deadweight loss in the wheat market. 1.) Using the multipoint curve drawing tool, graph the supply curve for wheat with the quota. Label your curve 'Upper S2.' (Note: draw the entire supply curve) 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the market price and quantity with the quota. Label your point 'e 2. 3.) Using the triangle drawing tool, shade in the…arrow_forward
