Vietnam has a policy of free trade in motorcycles which are sold in world markets at a price of 10,000 per motorcycle. Under free trade, Vietnam produces 100,000 motorcycles and imports 100,000 motorcycles. To provide some protection to the domestic industry, Vietnam imposes an import tariff of $1500 per motorcycle. With this tariff in place, production in Vietnam rises by 5,000 motorcycles and consumption drops by the same amount. Calculate the effects of the tariff on: a. Consumer Surplus b. Producer Surplus c. Government Revenues d. Overall Welfare e. If the tariff imposed by the Vietnamese had led to small reduction in world prices of, say, 250 dollars, how, qualitatively, would the welfare calculations (a), (b), (c) and (d) above change?

The following graph shows the domestic supply of and demand for soybeans in Guatemala. The world price (Pw) of soybeans is $540 per ton and is represented by the horizontal black line. Throughout the question, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of soybeans and that there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in soybeans. Also, assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place.

1. Assume that Canada is an importer of televisions and that there are no trade restrictions. Canadian consumers buy 1 million televisions per year, of which 400 000 are produced domestically and 600 000 are imported. Suppose that a technological advance among Japanese television manufacturers causes the world price of televisions to fall by $100. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Canadian consumers and Canadian producers and how it affects total surplus in Canada. b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.2 million televisions, of which 200 000 are produced domestically and 1 million are imported. Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus from the price reduction. c. If the government responded by putting a $100 tariff on imported televisions, what would this do? Calculate the revenue that would be raised and the deadweight loss. Would it be a good policy from the standpoint of Canadian welfare? Who might support…

Determine the equilibrium under free trade. a) Calculate and show in a diagram the following effects of a quota that limits the import of peanuts to 60 sacks. · The increase in the domestic price. · The quota revenue. · The loss due to production distortion. · The loss due to consumption distortion. b) Could the Government of Andorra have achieved the same trade result using a tariff?
