Preferential Trade Agreements. Consider Figure 1 below, where country A can import apples from two alternative sources, i.e. country C, the “low cost” supplier, or country B, the “high cost” supplier. Answer the following questions: (a) Consider a situation in which country A applies a non-discriminatory import duty t to apple imports from all countries, and assume that the tariff is non prohibitive. From which country will A import? How many apples will be imported? (b) Consider now an alternative...
Consider a hypothetical world consisting of only three countries: Liechtenstein, Canada, and France. Each country produces grain. Liechtenstein is a small economy compared to Canada and France and thus cannot influence foreign prices. On the following graph, the supply and demand schedules of Liechtenstein are shown as Such and Dich. Foreign supply schedules of grain are perfectly elastic: Canada is a more efficient supplier of grain than France because its supply price is $0.80 per bushel (Scu), whereas France's supply...
#4. Assume that the United States, as a steel importing nation, is large enough so that changes in the quantity of its imports influence the world price of steel. The U.S. supply and demand schedules for steel are illustrated in the table below, along with the overall amount of steel supplied to U.S. consumers by domestic and foreign producers: Supply and Demand: Tons of Steel (United States) Quantity Supplied (Domestic (Sd)) Quantity Supplied (Domestic + World [Sd+w]) Quantity Demanded (Domestic...
3. Suppose that US market demand and supply for cloth are given, respectively by the following algebraic equations: P 7-0.10Q and P 1+ 0.10Q (P is given in dollars and Q in tons). a) Plot the demand and supply schedule for clothe and determine the equilibrium price and quantity for cloth in the US in the absence of [international] trade b) If the US now allows free trade and P-$1.00 on the world market and we assume no transportation costs,...
a) home's demand curve for wheat is: D=100 - 20P its supply curve is: S= 20 + 20P. Derive and graph Home's import demand schedule. what would the price of wheat be in the absence of trade? b) Now add Foreign, which has a demand curve D* = 80 - 20P, and a supply curve S* = 40 + 20P. i) Derive and graph Foreign's export supply curve and find the price of wheat that would prevail in Foreign in...

The nation of Acirema is “small” and unable to affect world prices. It imports peanuts at the price of $10 per bag. The demand curve & supply curves are D= 400-10P S=50+5P Using Excel, develop columns of P ranging from $5.00 to $20.00 increment of $0.50, Demand (D) & Supply (S), and Import Demand (MD). (Note: When you need to round the digits, round your answers to the nearest hundredth unless otherwise noted.) Answer the following questions: What is the...
