After tariff world price increases from 4 to 5
At Pw + t = 5
Qd = 100
Qs = 80
CS = 1/2(10-5)100
= 1/2(5)100
= 250
PS = 1/2(5 - 1)80
= 1/2(4)80
= 160
b) Tax revenue = (100- 80)(5-4)
= 20
So U.S. govt. collects 20 million from tariff.
c) DWL1 = 1/2(80 - 60)(5 -4)
= 1/2(20)
= 10
DWL2 = 1/2(120 - 100)(5-4)
= 1/2(20)
= 10

Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is Q=120 - 10p and the supply curve is Q=10p The government imposes a price ceiling of p= $4 per unit per unit. a. How do the equilibrium price and quantity change? (round quantities to the nearest integer and round prices to the nearest penny) The equilibrium quantity without the price ceiling is 60 and the price without the price ceiling is $6. The equilibrium quantity with the price ceiling is 40. B)...
3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a 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 PWPW = $250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer...
