Using letters ON the DIAGRAM, explain the answer,
(a) If foreign trade is allowed and the world price is USD 10,000 per automobile explain the winners and losers and overall well-being. Use the letters indicated to explain your answer.
(b) If the government imposed a tariff of USD 5,000 per unit, what is the government revenue and the dead-weight loss of tariff.
In the picture below is the full question. The highlighted one is my guess which is wrong.
Which of the following best explains how subsidies work as a trade restriction?
A)They increase competition for a new business, forcing it to be more productive, and lowering prices for consumers.
B)They limit the import of foreign goods and create shortages.
C)They place a tax on foreign goods, making foreign good expensive, increasing demand for domestic goods(this one is wrong)
D)Governments pay producers, offsetting costs, increasing supply, lowering prices, and reducing foreign competition.
Consider the market for sugar in the United States depicted in the figure to the
right. Assume the world price of sugar is $0.04 per pound, and at that price the
United States can buy as much sugar as it wants without causing the world price
to rise.
Now suppose a tariff imposed by the government completely eliminates trade.
As a result of the tariff, consumers will be
surplus, and producers will be
off in terms of consumer
off in terms of producer surplus.
Use the traingle drawing tool to indicate the total loss of surplus for the United
States as a result of the tariff by shading in domestic dead weight loss. Property
label this shaded area.
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

- B. If Oman imposing an import tariff on the used car imports from UAE (Foreign), explain the cost and benefits tariff as an importing country to Oman and an exporting county to UAE(Use appropriate diagram to explain your answer). Your answer can limit based on following theoretical assumptions: Suppose that there are two countries Home (Oman) and Foreign. Both countries consume and produce used cars which can be costless transported between these countries. In each country, it is a competitive industry. Suppose that in the absence of trade the price of used cars at Home exceeds the corresponding price at Foreign. C.

- As you may have heard, Russia decided to invade its neighbor, which has led to international condemnation (albeit not on all fronts). The EU, a former major importer of gas from Russai, went ahead with sanctions. Imagine, if you will, that the respective heads of state get together and try to negotiate a trade agreement to end sanctions. They each have three possible choices: (a) Maintain tariffs against the other nation (T); (b) Seek mediation from the WTO, which would implement an international trade agreement at a small cost (M); (c) Unilaterally remove tariffs (F). The payoff matrix is as given below. Is there a dominant strategy for either player? Find all the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in the game. How would this change if, instead, the mediation is costless and yields a payoff of 50 to each nation (assuming mutually successful mediation) and a payoff of 0 (if the other nation chooses otherwise)? **arrow_forwardThis question is about political economy and trade. a) Briefly explain what is meant by Olson's theory of interest groups.
