1. Suppose Home is a small country. Use the graphs below to answer the questions.
a. Calculate Home consumer surplus and producer surplus in the absence of trade.
b. Now suppose that Home engages in trade and faces the world price, P* = $6. Determine the consumer and producer surplus under free trade. Does Home benefit from trade? Explain.
c. Concerned about the welfare of the local producers, the Home government imposes a tariff in the amount of $2 (i.e. t=$2). Determine the net effect of the tariff on the Home country.
2. Use the same graphs in question 3. Suppose that instead of a tariff, Home applies an import quota limiting the amount Foreign can sell to 2 units.
a. Determine the net effect of the import quota on the Home economy if the quota licenses are allocated to local producers.
b. Calculate the net effect of the import quota on Home welfare if the quota rents are earned by Foreign exporters.
c. How do your answers to part (1) and (2) compare with part (3) in question 3?

4. Consider a large country importing a good from the world market. The government of this country decides to impose import tariff equal to t. In response to this tariff, foreign exporting firms decide to pay some of the tariff burden and transfer only some of the tariff to the consumers in the importing country. The two graphs below show the effect of the import tariff in the home market and in the world market. Let Pw is the initial...
(a) Home Market (b) Import Market Price Price Deadweight loss due to the tariffb+d S, S2 D2D Quantity Imports FIGURE 8-5 Effect of Tariff on Welfare The tariff increases the price from PW to pW+ t. As a result, consumer surplus falls by (a + b+ c+ ). Producer surplus rises by area a, and government revenue increases by the area c. Therefore, the net loss in welfare, the deadweight loss to Home, is (b + a), which is measured...
3. welfare effects of tariff in small country Suppose Bolivia is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Bolivia's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Bolivia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Bolivia. The world price of wheat is P $250 per ton. On the folowing graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols)to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the...

area 3 Hopefully, you understood the material on Consumer Surplus (CS) and Producer Surplus (PS) Now let's use those concepts to quantify the economic Consequences of imposing an Import tariff price of mangos 1 Assume the graphs represent the domestic market of mangos. Determine the following: competitive market equilibrium price would = domestic market supply curve of mangos competitive equilibrium quantity of magos =_ $3/lb. 2. Now assume the world market equilibrium price of mangos = $1.50/lb. and domestic producers...
