(1) The export subsidy will increase price by $40 to $(200 + 40) = $240 (= Ps). Since I cannot access your graph tool, I've marked the relevant regions.
After export subsidy,
Price = Ps
Qd = 300
Qs = 900
Loss in CS = Area PsABPw
Gain in PS = Area PsCEPw
(2) Taxpayer cost of subsidy = $40 x (900 - 300) = $40 x 600 = $24,000
(3) After export subsidy,
Loss in CS = (1/2) x $40 x (450 + 300) = $20 x 750 = $15,000
Gain in PS = (1/2) x $40 x (900 + 750) = $20 x 1,650 = $33,000
Cost of subsidy = $24,000
Deadweight loss ($) = 15,000 + 24,000 - 33,000 = 6,000

multi part question 4. Agricultural export subsidies in a small nation The following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Dc is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price of wheat. Assume that Canada is a relatively small producer of wheat, so changes in its output do not affect the world price of wheat. Also assume that Canada is currently open to free trade, and domestic consumers are able to...
The following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Dc is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price of wheat. Assume that Canada is a relatively small producer of wheat, so changes in its output do not affect the world price of wheat. Also assume that Canada is currently open to free trade, and domestic consumers are able to purchase wheat at the world price with negligible transportation costs. Suppose...

3. Welfare effects of a tariff In a small country Suppose Kenya is open to free trade In the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat In Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market In Kenya. The world price of wheat is Pw - $250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS)...
Consider a small country that exports steel. Suppose the following graph depicts the domestic demand and supply for steel in this country. One of the two price lines represents the world price of steel. Use the following graph to help you answer the questions below. You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. Demand Supply Triangle Polygon Price of Steel (Dollars per ton) 600 500 700 000 000 1993 100 200 Suppose that a "pro-trade government...
Suppose Home is a small exporter of wheat. At the world price of $100 per ton, Home growers export 20 tons. Now suppose the Home government decides to support its domestic producer with an export subsidy of $40 per ton. Use the figure below to answer the following questions. (a) What is the quantity exported under free trade with the export subsidy? How does this effect the figure? (b) Calculate the effect of the export subsidy on consumer surplus, producer...
3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Bolivia is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Bolivia’s small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Bolivia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Bolivia. The world price of wheat is PWPW = $250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer...
fill in the blank 1)increase/decrease 2)increase/decrease 3)gain/loss Suppose New Zealand is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of New Zealand's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in New Zealand do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in New Zealand. The world price of wheat is Pw = $250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing...
Based on your analysis, as a result of the tariff, new Zealand's consumer surplus (increase/decrease) by $______________, a producer surplus *(increase/Decrease) by $__________, and the government collects $____________ in revenue. Therefore, the net welfare effect is a (gain/loss) by $____________. 3. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose New Zealand is open to free trade in the world market for wheat.
