The year is 2005. For many years the US has restricted textile imports from China using quotas. Now under WTO the US is having to eliminate the quotas and allow china to export textiles to the US free of quotas. Use the principles of demand and supply to analyze the effect of this action on: the US textile industry, the US textile consumers, the textile industry of Vietnam (another textile producing country) that has been exporting textile to the US without quotas. Remember to tell us: who gains, and who loses in each case.
Because Zambia participates in international trade in the market for soybeans, it will import
tons of soybeans.
Now suppose the Zambian government decides to impose a tariff of $10 on each imported ton of soybeans. Under the tariff, the price Zambian consumers pay for a ton of soybeans becomes
, and Zambia will import
tons of soybeans.
Use the following graph to show the effects of the $10 tariff
2. Assume that Sweden and Norway currently producing and
consuming soybeans and coffee. The following table 1
shows the prices of soybeans and coffee for both nations.

Based on relative price of coffee, can Norway gain by
exporting soybeans? If no, what commodity Norway
should export? Briefly explain this scenario by using an
appropriate diagram.
