The United States and Cuba do not currently trade. Suppose that the price of similar quality cigars is higher in the United States than Cuba. If free trade ensues, what will happen to the price of cigars in both countries?
Homework Answers
Answer : Without trade the price of cigar in United States is higher than the price of cigar in Cuba. Due to higher price in United States the price cigar will fall in free trade. And due to lower price in Cuba the price will rise in Cuba in free trade. Hence if the price fall in United States then the production level decrease which decrease the domestic supply. For this reason the United States will import cigar. On the other side, if price rise then production level increase in Cuba and face excess supply in the economy. For this reason the Cuba will export cigar. The equilibrium price occur when demand is equal to supply. Now if free trade occur then the United States will import and the Cuba will export. After free trade the world equilibrium price will occur when United State's import level is equal to Cuba's export level. This means that at world equilibrium price, United State's import = Cuba's export. This world equilibrium price will the price of cigar in both countries after free trade. This means that the price of cigar will fall in United States and the price of cigar will rise in Cuba after free trade at world equilibrium price.

What I'd like you to do, in 250-500 words, is explain what some of these repercussions have been, who they...

There is no point in the United States complaining about trade policies in Japan and Europe. Each country has a right to do whatever is in its own best interest. Instead of complaining about foreign trade policies, the United States should let other countries go their own way and give up our own prejudices about free trade and follow suit. Discuss both the economics and the political economy of this viewpoint.

Suppose the domestic supply and demand curves for bicycles in the United States are given by the following set of equations: QS = 2P QD = 200 – 2P. Demand and supply in the Rest of the World is given by the equations: QS = P QD =160 – P. Quantities are measured in thousands and price in U.S. dollars. After the opening of free trade between the U.S. and the Rest of the World: Group of answer choices One...

Suppose that with free trade, the cost to the United States of importing a keyboard from Mexico is $13.00, and the cost of importing a keyboard from China is $11.00. A keyboard produced in the United States costs $18.00. Suppose further that before NAFTA, the United States maintained a tariff of all keyboard Imports. Then, under NAFTA, all tariffs between Mexico and the United States are removed, while the tariff ina remains in effect. Assume that the tariff does not...

Scenario 2 In December, 2014, President Obama announced that the United States were restoring diplomatic ties and in July 2015, the United States re-opened its embassy in Cuba after more than 50 years. This may signal a possible end to the US trade embargo against Cuba. Consider the potential of normalized trade relations with Cuba. What industries or companies would do well in this new trade environment? Which strategies would make the most sense for these industries, e.g., importing and...
