- Assume that you have been hired by an International Organization to be consulted on various issues that the country Motherland faces. For this exercise, assume that Motherland is a small agricultural economy. The biggest trading partner of Motherland is the United States. Unlike Motherland, the United States is a large industrial country. Assume Motherland imports electronics from the United States. The government of Motherland is considering to impose quotas on these electronics imports coming from the United States. Would you recommend it? Explain your answer. In your explanation, distinguish the effect on the consumers of electronics, the domestic producers of electronics and the government.Your explanation should not exceed 200 words.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 the price 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%. Analyse the effects of the consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, and deadweight loss in the Country C steel market with the tariff. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries.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.

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. Imports steel from Country U = 80,000 metric tons of steel Produce domestically = 80,000 metric tons per year Country C total steel consumption = 160,000 metric tons per year Price of steel per metric ton = $500

Each country produces grain. Hungary is a small economy compared to Australia and Italy and thus cannot influence foreign prices. On the following graph, the supply and demand schedules of Hungary are shown as Sun and Dun. Foreign supply schedules of grain are perfectly elastic: Australia is a more efficient supplier of grain than Italy because its supply price is $1.00 per bushel (SAus), whereas Italy's supply price is $2.00 per bushel (Sita).

- occurs when a company exports to a foreign market at a price that is either lower than the domestic prices in that country or less than the cost of production.A particular metal is traded in a highly competitive world market at a world price of $9.3 per ounce. Unlimited quantities are available for import into Canada at this price. The supply of this metal from domestic Canadian producers can be represented by Qs = 222 + 58P and the demand for the metal in Canada is Qd = 2044 - 79P, where Qs and Qd are in units of million ounces and P is the price per ounce. The Canadian government plans to impose an import quota of 240 million ounces per year. What is the net domestic loss to the Canadian economy as a result of the import quota? Answer: $ million (DO NOT ROUND YOUR CALCULATIONS UNTIL YOU REACH THE FINAL ANSWER. ENTER YOUR RESPONSE ROUNDED TO 2 DECIMAL PLACES, AND NO SEPARTOR FOR THOUSANDS.)In the United States, imposing a tariff on imported vitamin D3 would: Group of answer choices increase total American consumption of vitamin D3. increase American consumption of domestically produced vitamin D3. reduce exports of vitamin D3. decrease domestic production of vitamin D3.
- A small country can import a good at a world price of $10 per unit. The domestic demand and supply curves are given by the following equations: Demand: D = 400 – 5P Supply: S = 20 + 10P, where D is the quantity demanded, S is the quantity supplied, and P is price a) Derive the import demand curve of the country and determine the level of imports. b) Calculate the effects of a per-unit tariff of $ 5 levied on imports on consumers, producers, government revenue, and overall national welfare, using the concepts of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. c) Suppose that each unit of production yields a marginal social benefit of $10 and calculate the effect of the tariff on total welfare.A particular metal is traded in a highly competitive world market at a world price of $11.2 per ounce. Unlimited quantities are available for import into Canada at this price.
