At Pd levels, there is no specific maximization of either Consumer or Producer surplus. At Pw levels, the maximization occurs for the Consumer surplus at the expense of Producer surplus, If this is allowed to prevail in domestic market, the domestic firms will be worst hit, and supply needed to increased. If free trade continues, there is not a big hit over domestic firms while the Consumer surplus is maximized highest, this is the best scenario for all(Option B). If the governement applies tariff, there will be an incremental tariff revenue( 12 & 13) but it will be consumed by the societal losses at (11 & 14). It also doesn't increase the Overall surplus over the value in Option B. Hence, option B can provide the maximum value of Total Surplus.

Consider the Colombian market for soybeans. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose Colombia's government currently does not allow international trade in soybeans. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of soybeans and the equilibrium quantity of soybeans in Colombia in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple...

6. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Panama is open to free trade in the world market for maize. Because of Panama's small size, the demand for and supply of maize in Panama do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic maize market in Panama. The world price of maize is Pw =$350 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when...
