2. Fredonia does not grow any wheat, but domestic demand is described by P=100-.5Q. Initially, wheat is in infinitely elastic supply to Fredonia from Tralfamadore at a price of 30. a. Fredonia levies of tariff of 20 on imports of wheat into the country. Draw a demand curve showing the price and quantity of wheat demanded as well as the tariff revenue. b. Fredonia now enters into a free trade agreement with Sylvania. Wheat is available from Sylvania in infinitely elastic supply at a price of 40. On your diagram indicate the price and quantity of wheat demanded after the formation of the free trade area. Show the change in consumer surplus and change in government revenue that result from formation of the free trade area. c. Compute the change in consumer surplus, the change in tariff revenue, and the change in welfare resulting from the formation of the free trade area. Explain your answer. d. What term do economists use to describe the phenomenon illustrated in this example? Fully…
5. Demand is given by QD = 6000 - 50P. Domestic supply is QS = 25P. Foreign producers can supply any quantity at a price of $40. A. If foreign producers can sell in the domestic market, what is the equilibrium price? What is the equilibrium quantity? How much is sold by domestic and foreign producers, respectively? B. Under domestic government pressure, foreign producers voluntarily agree to restrict their goods. What will happen to the price and quantity? What will happen to the amount that domestic producers supply? What will happen to revenues of domestic and foreign producers?

A decline in incomes if B is an inferior product. 4. Consumers anticipate the price of B will be lower in the near future. 5. The price of complementary product D falls. 6. Foreign tariff barriers on B are eliminated. B. What effect will each of the following have on the supply for product B? 1. A technological advance in the methods of producing B. 2. A decline in the number of firms in industry B. 3. An increase in the price of resources required in the produUction of B. 4. The expectation that the equilibrium price of B will be lower in the future than it is currently. 5. A decline in the price of product A, a good whose production requires substantially the same techniques as does the production of B. 6. The levying of a specific sales tax upon B. 7. The granting of a 50-cent per unit subsidy of B produced.
3. Suppose you are a manufacturer of milk and it produces 900 liters and sells it for $ 15 Lt and due to social development policies, the government decides that the price of the good should be lowered by one peso, therefore it should be sold at $ 14 per liter, with which people will have more access to buy it and will influence an increase in the quantity demanded, now having to produce 1,300 liters of the good. a. Determine the elasticity of demand.b. Determine the degree of Lerner's monopoly power.

Price (World) Price (Quota) . At this price, both the domestic quantity demanded and the Suppose that trade between the United States and China is open and that the United States initially imposes no tariffs or quotas on towels imported from China. Assume that China has a comparative advantage in producing towels and charges the world price of $6 per towell. (Note: Throughout the problem, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of towels.) On the previous graph, use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the world price of towels. At the world price of $6 per towel, the quantity of towels…

Your firm receives revenue of $40MM per year from Product A and $90MM per year from Product B. The own- price elasticity of demand for Product A is -1.5. The cross-price elasticity of demand between Product A and Product B is -1.8. Suppose you increase the price of Product A by two percent: a. How much will Product A’s revenue change? b. How much will Product B’s revenue change?
