Paradise is a small country that under free trade imports roses at $2.00 a dozen. Its domestic demand curve and domestic supply curve for roses are as follows: D = 100 - 10 P S = 10 + 10 P Calculate the equilibrium quantity imported under free trade. Under free trade: M = _________ If the government imposes a tariff of $1.00 on roses show graphically and calculate the impact of this tariff Graph: Under tariff: Domestic...
(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...
