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.

2. 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 = 115 – 1/15Q Supply: P = 55 + 1/15Q Where P is Yuan per bushel of soybeans and Q is 10 million bushels per year. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel. Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff.
