Consider a small country. The domestic (home) demand is Qd = 120−3P and supply is Qs = 2P −20 whereQs and Qd are the quantity supplied and demanded, respectively, and P is the price per unit.A) Find the equilibrium price and quantity when the domestic market is closed to international trade.Now, suppose the country opens up to international trade, and the world price is $20 per unit.B) Find the new equilibrium price, domestic quantity supplied and demanded, and quantity imported.C) Suppose the domestic government imposes a tariff of $4 per unit. Find the equilibrium price, domesticquantity supplied and demanded, quantity imported, and tax revenue collected.D) Now, suppose the government impose a quota that limits the quantity of imports to 20 units. Find thenew equilibrium price, domestic quantity supplied and demanded, and quantity imported.E) Calculate Consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus, with free tradeF) Calculate Consumer surplus, producer surplus, tax revenue,…
Consider that the current world price for copper ore is $5.20 per pound. Suppose the domestic market for copper ore in Chile is described by the following demand and supply equations, respectively: P = 8.80 -0.015Q and P =
0.8 +0.025Q, where P is the price per pound, measured in dollars, and Q is the quantity measured in thousands of pounds per month. Similarly, suppose that the domestic market for copper ore in Japan is described by the
following demand and supply equations: P = 6.80 -0.02Q and P = 0.8 +0.04Q, where P is the price per pound, measured in dollars, and Q is the quantity measured in thousands of pounds per month.
(Question 7 of 8)
After receiving requests from lobbyists and domestic producers, the government of the importing country imposes a tariff of $0.30 in the market for copper ore.
As a result of the government's policy, what is the change in the government's revenue in the importing country? (report your answer at 2 decimal places)
Steel is produced only in the US and the rest of the world (ROW). The inverse demand and supply in the US are
p = 110 - Q8 and p = 20 + Qỗ,
while in the ROW, they are
p = 70 - Q and p = Qk.
All quantities are in millions of tons and all prices are in dollars per ton. Since steel is produced more cheaply in the ROW, the US imports it from the ROW under international trade. At
any price, p, the imports of the US, QM. is the excess demand for steel given by the difference between the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied domestically in the US:
QM = Q% - Qi. Similarly, the exports of the ROw, QF, is the excess supply of steel given by the difference between how much they produce and how much they demand:
QE = Qk - Qg.
(b) Find the consumer and producer surplus in the US at the price p".
consumer surplus $

producer surplus

(c) The US government imposes a tax of $12 per unit on the ROw's exports. Find the new world equilibrium price, p**, and new world equilibrium…

The lobbyist claims that the U.S. microprocessor industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on microprocessors, the domestic microprocessor industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market. Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to support their argument in favor of the trade restriction on microprocessors?

- Q5(5): Kutaro is a small island nation in the South Pacific. The inhabitants of Kutaro work to produce one of two goods: honey and clams. Recently Kutaro has begun to trade with other countries, and the Kutaran economy has adjusted to the international prices for honey and clams and is in equilibrium. The current international price for honey is $2 per jar, and the international price for clams is $16 per pound. a) If the Kutarans decide to give up producing 100 pounds of clams, how many more jars of honey could they produce? b) Now suppose that the Kutarans want to increase production of clams by 50 pounds.
