5. You have been asked to quantify the effects of removing a country's tariff on sugar. The ompute its value? nard part of the work is already done: Somebody has estimated how many pouncs Sugar would be produced, consumed, and imported by the country if there were no saber duty. You are given the information shown in the table. Estimated Situation without Tariff Situation with Import Tariff World price $0.10 per pound $0.10 per pound $0.02 per pound $0.12 per pound Tariff $0.10 per pound Domestic price Domestic consumption (billions of pounds per year) Domestic production (billions of pounds per year) Imports (billions of pounds per year) 22 20 8. 16 12 Calculate the following measures: a. The domestic consumers' gain from removing the tariff. b. The domestic producers' loss from removing the tariff. C. The government tariff revenue loss. d. The net effect on national well-being.

Suppose that Congress imposes a tariff on importedautomobiles to protect the U.S. auto industry fromforeign competition. Assuming that the United Statesis a price taker in the world auto market, show thefollowing on a diagram: the change in the quantityof imports, the loss to U.S. consumers, the gainto U.S. manufacturers, government revenue, andthe deadweight loss associated with the tariff. Theloss to consumers can be decomposed into threepieces: a gain to domestic producers, revenue forthe government, and a deadweight loss. Use yourdiagram to identify these three pieces.
Assume, for Vietnam, that the domestic price of textiles without international trade is lower than the world price of textiles. This suggests that, in the production of textiles, O Vietnam has a comparative advantage over other countries and Vietnam will export textiles. O other countries have a comparative advantage over Vietnam and Vietnam will export textiles. O other countries have a comparative advantage over Vietnam and Vietnam will import textiles. O Vietnam has a comparative advantage over other countries and Vietnam will import textiles. MacBook A esc D00 FA F1 F2 F3 FS % 4 Q W E R T tab I A S D F G s lock
