Lesson 12 Question 7 The domestic demand for lettuce is given by: QD=4000-50P.The domestic supply for lettuce is given by: QS=100P-1400.The country is open to free trade and finds the world price of lettuce is $20.The government levies a $10 per unit tariff on imported lettuce.Calculate the change in consumer surplus that results from imposing the tariff.(Do not include a "$" sign in your response. Include a negative sign (-) if the change is a reduction.)

To calculate the change in consumer surplus due to the imposition of a tariff, we need to follow…

Explain why consumer and producer surplus can be used to gauge the change in welfare caused by the export subsidy on individuals and firms.
Suppose the market for steel is expressed as follows: Domestic demand: p = 40 - 0.2q, or q = 200 - 5p Domestic supply: p = 0.2q, or q = 5p Domestic supply (foreign): p = 0.1q, or q = 10p a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity if there is free trade, with no restriction on imports? b) What is the equilibrium price and quantity if the government imposes a binding import quota of 20 units? Depict parts a and b on a single graph. c) How are US steel firms affected by the quota? US automakers? Explain briefly.
Suppose a domestic market in a country is perfectly competitive. The domestic market is small and cannot influence the international price. Assume the country imports from the international market. Which of the following is correct about the effect of an import quota? Group of answer choices A) Increases domestic producer surplus B) Increases import quantity C) Increases total surplus in the domestic market D) Decreases total domestic quantity supplied E) None of the above
Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically 80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linear schedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Country C imposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. Analyse the effects of the consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and deadweight loss in the Country C steel market with the tariff. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries.
Consider the Colombian market for soybeans. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose Colombia's government currently does not allow international trade in soybeans. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of soybeans and the equilibrium quantity of soybeans in Colombia in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus in equilibrium. Based on the previous graph, total surplus in the absence of international trade is . The following graph shows the same domestic demand and supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose that the Colombian government changes its international trade policy to allow free trade in soybeans. The horizontal black line (PWPW) represents the world…
The market for rice in an East Asian country has demand and supply given by QD = 28 – 4P and QS = -12 + 6P, where quantities denote millions of bushels per day. a. If the domestic market is perfectly competitive, find the equilibrium price and quantity of rice. Compute the triangular areas of consumer surplus and producer surplus. b. Now suppose that there are no trade barriers and the world price of rice is $3. Confirm that the country will import rice. Find QD, QS, and the level of imports, QD – QS. Show that the country is better off than in part (a), by again computing consumer surplus and producer surplus. c. The government authority believes strongly in

Now, suppose that Home applies an import quota limiting the amount Foreign can sell to 2 units. The quota licenses are allocated to local producers. Calculate the consumer surplus and producer surplus with the quota
Use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade consumer surplus in Cambodia before China's clothing industry expands. Then use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade producer surplus.
