3. The world price of sugar is $.10 per lb., but import quotas raise the U.S. price to $.225 per lb. a. Compute the tariff equivalent of the quota (as a percent of the world price). b. Due to the high price of sugar in the U.S., high fructose corn sweetener emerges as an economic substitute for sugar. As a result it is expected that the demand for sugar will fall over time. From the perspective of the U.S. sugar industry, are they better off with tariff protection, or a quota which is equivalent today, but which stays fixed over time? Explain using a supply and demand diagram in your answer.
Assume the United States is an importer of televisionsand there are no trade restrictions. U.S. consumersbuy 1 million televisions per year, of which 400,000 areproduced domestically and 600,000 are imported.a. Suppose that a technological advance amongJapanese television manufacturers causes theworld price of televisions to fall by $100. Draw agraph to show how this change affects the welfareof U.S. consumers and U.S. producers and how itaffects total surplus in the United States.b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.2 milliontelevisions, of which 200,000 are produced domesticallyand 1 million are imported.
