Given the supply - demand function of printers in Vietnam as follows: Sx = -20000 + 250P Dx = 160000-350P Knowing that Vietnam is considered a small country, the price of a printer on the world market is $120/piece. a. If the Government of Vietnam levies an import tax of 25% on this item, calculate the loss to domestic consumers. How much is the import tax revenue from the Vietnamese government's printer products in this case? b. Due to the commitment to integration, the Government of Vietnam applies an import tax rate of 12.5% for printers, calculate the change in the import tax revenue of the Government of Vietnam. c. To ensure that there are no more imports, what is the minimum tax rate that the Vietnamese government should set?

Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linearschedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and theprice elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Country Cimposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries
The domestic supply and demand curves for hula beans are as follows: P = 50 + Q (supply) and P = 200 – Q (demand) where P is the price in cents per pound and Q is the quantity in millions of pounds. Ireland is a small producer in this market where the current price is 60 cents per pound. The Irish Government is considering a tariff of 40 cents per pound. The quantity of hula beans imported into Ireland after the tariff is A. 100B. 50C. 130D. 90

When the government charges a domestic seller for each unit of a good or service sold, we call that a tariff. an income tax. a subsidy. an excise tax.
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 theprice 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%. Summarise and analyse the quantity of steel produced, consumed and imported in Country C. Analyse and discuss the welfare gain from trade in Country C. Show your answers of the steel market with a proper diagram.

Recently, China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 11.5 – Q Supply: P = 5.5 + Q Price is in 10 Yuan (¥) per bushel of soybeans and the units for Quantity are 100 million bushels per year. This is to make graphing simpler. This does NOT mean that the price is 10 and quantity is 100. Rather it means that if the price was 40¥ and the quantity was 7,500,000,000 bushels, this would plot as 4 and 7.5 respectively. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel (this would graph as 6.5). Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including: Domestic Demand curve (D), Domestic Supply curve (S), the World Price (WP), and the Price with tariffs (PT). Based on your graph for question 3, what amount of soybeans will China import from the US if there are no…

Suppose that a lumber-producing firm had a demand for the ability to burn sawdust given by: Q = 90- P. Where Q is amount of sawdust burned when the firm has to pay price (P) per unit of sawdust burned. Calculate the quantity of sawdust burned if there is a per unit tax of $26 per unit of sawdust burned. (Do not include a $ sign in your response. Round to the nearest 2 decimal places if necessary.)
