Tariffs have become a hot topic. In a paper: Describe how a tariff affects the market for a good the United States produces but is a net importer (for example, of steel). Draw a supply and demand graph illustrating world trade and a tariff. Identify winners and losers from world trade and winners and losers from the tariff (be sure to include domestic consumers, domestic producers, foreign consumers, foreign producers, and government in your discussion). Your paper should be 3-4...
The following graph shows the domestic market for oil in the United States, where Sp is the domestic supply curve, and Dp is the domestic demand curve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the world price of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of SD+w, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreign producers...
#4. Assume that the United States, as a steel importing nation, is large enough so that changes in the quantity of its imports influence the world price of steel. The U.S. supply and demand schedules for steel are illustrated in the table below, along with the overall amount of steel supplied to U.S. consumers by domestic and foreign producers: Supply and Demand: Tons of Steel (United States) Quantity Supplied (Domestic (Sd)) Quantity Supplied (Domestic + World [Sd+w]) Quantity Demanded (Domestic...
5. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Colombia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Because of Colombia's small size, the demand for and supply of soybeans in Colombia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic soybeans market in Colombia. The world price of soybeans is Pw =$400 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer's surplus...
2. Problems and Applications Q2 Suppose that Congress imposes a tariff on imported autos to protect the U.S. auto industry from foreign competition. Assume that the United States is a price taker in the world auto market. The following graph shows the U.S. auto market, the world price before the tariff (Pw), and the world price after the tariff (Pw +T) Domestic Demand 3 94 01 Quantity of Autos increases ncreases/ decreases Q1/02/Q3/Q4 decreases The tariff domestic quantity demanded to...
Suppose the United States does not produce any baseball hats domestically but imports them from foreign producers. Initially, demand is Q 2000-5p and supply (from foreign producers) is Qs- 400+3p. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity. The government then decides that no more than 500 baseball hats should be imported per period and imposes a quota at that level. How does this quota affect the equilibrium price and quantity? Show the solution using a graph and calculate the numerical answer....
3. Refer to the figure. The United States is currently open to international trade in the market of basketballs, but domestic producers are lobbying to ban the importation of basketballs from abroad for national security reasons. Domestic producers claim that they are unable to compete with foreign producers based on price and that eventually they would be forced to close their shops domestically. This would give foreign producers the power to cut off the supply of basketballs to the United...
The demand and supply for automoblles In a certain country is given In the graph below. The world price of automobles is $8,000. a. Assuming that the economy Is closed, find the equilibrium price and quantity of automobles. Instructions: Indicate the equilibrium price and quantity using the tool "Equilibrium* by clicking on the appropriate Intercept on the given graph. Market for Cars Price of cars (S) 26,000 24,000 22,000 20,000 18,000 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 Tools...
(Note: Round your answers to the nearest tenth if you have a decimal point.) Assume that the United States, as a steel-importing nation, is large enough so that changes in the quantity of its imports influence the world price of steel. The U.S. supply and demand schedules for steel are illustrated in Table below, along with the overall amount of steel supplied to U.S. consumers by domestic and foreign producers. Price/Ton Quantity Supplied (Domestic) $100 150 200 250 300 350...
Suppose that with free trade, the cost to the United States of importing a keyboard from Mexico is $13.00, and the cost of importing a keyboard from China is $11.00. A keyboard produced in the United States costs $18.00. Suppose further that before NAFTA, the United States maintained a tariff of all keyboard Imports. Then, under NAFTA, all tariffs between Mexico and the United States are removed, while the tariff ina remains in effect. Assume that the tariff does not...
