Consider a small country that imports good Z. Some of the total quantity of Z domestically consumed is supplied by domestic producers and the rest of it is imported. Then suppose that the government imposed a tariff on each unit of Z that is imported, so that the quantity of Z imported is somewhat reduced. Draw a demand and supply diagram that shows the effect of the tariff. On your diagram clearly label the quantity of imports before the tariff is imposed and after the tariff is imposed. Also on your diagram, shade in the areas that represent the dead-weight loss associated with the tariff. Then provide an explanation for why these areas represent dead-weight loss.
Homework Answers
Consider the diagram above
The equilibrium price is 20 and the international trade price is 10 so that Imports = 1400-1000 = 400 units
When the government imposes a tariff of 5 per unit, the price increases to 15 where the imports = 1300-1100 = 200 units
The deadweight loss generated due to the tariff = area B+D
The deadweight loss occurs because due to the tariff,the area G is transferred to the government as revenue so there is a loss in total welfare which is equal to the area B+D

Consider a small country that imports good X. Some of the total quantity of X domestically consumed is supplied by domestic producers and the rest of it is imported. Then suppose that the government imposed a quota on the importation of X, so that the quantity of X imported is reduced to a quantity of Q. Draw a demand and supply diagram that shows the effect of the quota. On your diagram clearly label the quantity of imports before the...

A country imports sugar. The foreign supply curve is horizontal. Illustrate each of the following three cases, identifying the domestic price, p; the domestic quantity supplied, Qs; the domestic quantity demanded, Qa, and the quantity imported, Q; and deadweight loss, DWL a. The government allows free trade. b. The government imposes a tariff of $1 per pound and 100 units of sugar are i c. The government increases tariff, by enough that the quantity of imports drops to zero.

Suppose that a country imports 2 billion barrels of crude oil per year and domestically produces another 4 billion barrels of crude oil per year. All the domestic production is consumed by domestic consumers (i.e. there are no exportations). The world price of crude oil is $80 per barrel. Assuming linear demand and supply schedules, economists estimate the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.3 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.15 at the current equilibrium....

Paradise is a small country that under free trade imports roses at $2.00 a dozen. Its domestic demand curve and domestic supply curve for roses are as follows: D = 100 - 10 P S = 10 + 10 P Calculate the equilibrium quantity imported under free trade. Under free trade: M = _________ If the government imposes a tariff of $1.00 on roses show graphically and calculate the impact of this tariff Graph: Under tariff: Domestic...

4. Consider a large country importing a good from the world market. The government of this country decides to impose import tariff equal to t. In response to this tariff, foreign exporting firms decide to pay some of the tariff burden and transfer only some of the tariff to the consumers in the importing country.

5. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Colombia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Because of Colombia's small size, the demand for and supply of soybeans in Colombia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic soybeans market in Colombia. The world price of soybeans is Pw =$400 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer's surplus...
