Assume that you are consulting with a small country that imposes a tariff on a product that it produces. Ask the decision makers of the country to identify the incorrect statement from the ones below: They will have a consumer surplus decline. They will have a decline in producer They will have a decline of the quantity Their total fall in surplus will be more than their deadweight loss.

1. Your textbook discusses the benefits of cheaper imports on pages 171-173. Draw a graph that shows the effects on consumer and producer surplus (gain or loss) that result from a country importing a good. 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. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including the Domestic Demand curve, Domestic Supply curve, the World Price, and the Price with tariffs. 3. How many bushels of soybeans can the US export to China if there are no tariffs? How many bushels with the imposed tariff? 4. Who are the greatest benefactors of China’s…

Think about the mobile-market is in equilibrium. Suppose that, as part of a trade policy, the government imposes the tax on mobile-import. Will this affect the supply or the demand? Why? How this will affect the consumer surplus and producer surplus? Show graphically with before- and after-effects on the same graph. How will this change the equilibrium price and quantity of mobile? Explain your reasoning.
The minister for labor of the Utopia (small country) is eager to encourage domestic production of bikes. A small bike industry exists, but only a few producers can survive foreign competition without government help. The country decided to help the local producers, the problem is the country has no idea what to do, some argues for 20% tariff and others thought 20% subsidy can gain same benefits to the country with less social cost. a. Show the following diagrammatically: The effects of the tariff on domestic bike output and consumption. The beneficial side effects of the tariff. The net gains or losses for the country. 4. All the same effects for the case of the production subsidy. 5. The differences in the effects of the two alternatives on the government’s budget. b. Can you describe a policy that captures the alleged benefits of worker training better than either the 20% tariff or the 20% subsidy?
