can you help me place where I need to chart consumer surplus and producer surplus on each attachment.
Finally, can you help answer the question from the two attachments: overall, exporting countries _are harmed by, or benefit from, or are not affected by the fall in the world price of clothing, and importing countries _are harmed by, or benefit from, or are not affected by___________ the price change.
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.
Suppose Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of 100 US dollars per tonne, Home growers export 20 tons of wheat. Now suppose the Home government decides to support its domestic producers with an specific export subsidy of 40 US dollars per tonne. Use Figure 1 to answer the following questions:
I'll attach the graph below
A. Explain why consumer and producer surplus can be used to gauge the change in welfare caused by the export subsidy on individuals and firms.
B. What is the quantity exported by Home under free trade and with the export subsidy?
C. Calculate the effect of the export subsidy on consumer surplus, producer surplus and government revenue; depict each of these in a graph. What is the overall net effect of the export subsidy on Home welfare?
