Assume that Japanese-made and U.S.-made automobiles are of the same quality and are considered to be perfect substitutes. Suppose that the U.S. government imposes a tariff on Japanese-made automobiles. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, show the effect on the market for Japanese-made automobiles. Properly label your line. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the new equilibrium price and quantity. Label it 'E,'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. As a result of the tariff, the price of Japanese-made cars rises and the quantity falls.

22. < Previou Suppose there are three countries in the world: Volcania, Portlandia, and Minitown. These three countries produce a total of 3 different kinds of goods: Raspberries, Pomegranates, and Guavas. If Volcania imposes a tariff on Raspberries from Portlandia, and Minitown. OThe price of Raspberries in Volcania will increase for everyone OThe Raspberries industry in Minitown will benefit OThe Raspberries in Portlandia will be the only one to see higher prices for this product
2. Recently, China placed tariffs on the importation of US soybeans. Assume that the domestic market for soybeans in China is described by the following equations: Demand: P = 115 – 1/15Q Supply: P = 55 + 1/15Q Where P is Yuan per bushel of soybeans and Q is 10 million bushels per year. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel. Graph the soybean market in China showing equilibrium both with no barriers to trade and with a ¥15/bushel tariff. Be sure to fully and clearly label the graph including the Domestic Demand curve, Domestic Supply curve, the World Price, and the Price with tariffs.
Consider the market below for a large country. Focus on the equilibrium when the country imposes a tariff. How large is the tariff? Price $25 $20 $15 10 20 30 40 Quantity Select one: O a. $20 O b. $25 O c. $10 O d. $15
Explain with the help of diagrams:1. Assume that the Indian JuteIndustry is at present in a equilibrium state with the producers supplyingjute bags only to the domestic market atthe prevailing market prices. Apart from domestic suppliers, Indian juteindustry faces competition from Bangladesh. Explain with the help ofsupply-demand curves how the following events affect the equilibrium in thejute industry?a. Poor domestic demandb. Increasedcompetition from Bangladeshc. Cement industry,which is one of the largest users of jute bags,exempted from mandatory jute packagingd. Farmers, instead ofproducing jute, use their farm lands for some other purposes.
China is a major producer of grains, such aswheat, corn, and rice. Some years ago, the Chinesegovernment, concerned that grain exports weredriving up food prices for domestic consumers,imposed a tax on grain exports.a. Draw the graph that describes the market for grainin an exporting country. Use this graph as thestarting point to answer the following questions.b. How does an export tax affect domestic grainprices?c. How does it affect the welfare of domesticconsumers, the welfare of domestic producers,and government revenue?d. What happens to total welfare in China, asmeasured by the sum of consumer surplus,producer surplus, and tax revenue?
4. Under what conditions could an import quota and a tariff have exactly the same effect on price and bring the same gains and losses (given a tariff level that restricts imports just as much as the quota would)?

8. Assume that the production of cement also produces a substantial amount of air pol- lution and that a technology is available that can lower the pollution but with some- what higher production costs for the cement. Because of the availability of raw materials in Lindertania, it produces large amounts of cement, and its exports supply most demand in Pugelovia. But the air pollution from Lindertania's production blows into Pugelovia, causing a noticeable deterioration in Pugelovia's air quality. Although Lindertania suffers some harm itself from this air pollution, it does not now have any policy to reduce the pollution. The Pugelovian government wants to address this air pollution problem. a. If the two countries' governments cooperate, what is the best solution to address the problem? Explain. b. If Pugelovia must come up with a solution on its own, what should the Pugelovian government do? Explain.
Assume the United States is an importer of televisionsand there are no trade restrictions. U.S. consumersbuy 1 million televisions per year, of which 400,000 areproduced domestically and 600,000 are imported.a. Suppose that a technological advance amongJapanese television manufacturers causes theworld price of televisions to fall by $100. Draw agraph to show how this change affects the welfareof U.S. consumers and U.S. producers and how itaffects total surplus in the United States.b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.2 milliontelevisions, of which 200,000 are produced domesticallyand 1 million are imported. Calculate thechange in consumer surplus, producer surplus,and total surplus from the price reduction.c. If the government responded by putting a$100 tariff on imported televisions, what wouldthis do? Calculate the revenue that would beraised and the deadweight loss. Would it be agood policy from the standpoint of U.S. welfare?Who might support the policy?d. Suppose that the…
