Suppose Qd=-37*P+866, Qs=34*P+10 for home and Qd*=-37*P+436, Qs*=34*P+34 for foreign. What is the free trade price to two decimal places?
Ascertaining equilibrium price at Home by equating demand and supply at home,
Qd = Qs
-37P + 866 = 34P + 10
-37P - 34P = 10 - 866
-71P = -856
P = 856/71 = 12.05
The equilibrium price at home is $12.05 per unit.
Ascertaining equilibrium price at Foriegn by equating demand and supply,
Qd = Qs
-37P + 436 = 34P + 34
-37P - 34P = 34 - 436
-71P = -402
P = 402/71 = 5.66
The equilibrium price in foriegn is $5.66 per unit.
Since, equilibrium price is lower in Foriegn country, in case of free trade, home will import and foriegn will export.
Calculate the import demand of home -
Import demand = Qd - Qs = -37P + 866 - (34P + 10) = -71P + 856
Calculate the export supply of foreign -
Export supply = Qs - Qd = 34P + 34 - (-37P + 436) = 71P - 402
Equating import demand and export supply to ascertain the free trade price
-71P + 856= 71P - 402
-71P - 71P = -402 - 856
-142P = -1258
P = 8.85
The free trade price is $8.85 per unit.

6. Suppose that both Home and Foreign move from autarky to a free-trade regime and the trade price of product X is 0.4Y. From the Hone perspective, the trade price is than the marginal cost of product X, which isSo, the Home economy under free trade. So, the X industry must A) smaller; 0.5Y; exit B) greater; 0.5Y; overtake C) smaller; 0.25Y; exit D) greater; 0.25Y; overtake 1. Again, suppose that both Home and Foreign move from autarky to a...

Consider the case of a Foreign monopoly with no Home production. Starting from free trade equilibrium and consider a $10 tariff applied by the Home government, answer the following questions. a. If the demand curve is linear [P = 10 - Q], what is the shape of the marginal revenue curve? b. How much does the tariff-inclusive Home price increase because of the tariff, and how much does the net-of-tariff price received by the Foreign firm fall? c. Discuss the...
