- Vietnam has a policy of free trade in motorcycles which are sold in world markets at a price of 10,000 per motorcycle. Under free trade, Vietnam produces 100,000 motorcycles and imports 100,000 motorcycles. To provide some protection to the domestic industry, Vietnam imposes an import tariff of $1500 per motorcycle. With this tariff in place, production in Vietnam rises by 5,000 motorcycles and consumption drops by the same amount. Calculate the effects of the tariff on: a. Consumer Surplus b. Producer Surplus c. Government Revenues d. Overall Welfare e. If the tariff imposed by the Vietnamese had led to small reduction in world prices of, say, 250 dollars, how, qualitatively, would the welfare calculations (a), (b), (c) and (d) above change?What is the effect of placing tariffs on products imported into the U.S. from other countries? Are there any problems with this?Korea’s demand for computers isQK = 2, 000 − PkIts supply isQK = −200 + PkChina’s demand for computers isQC = 1, 000 − Pc Its supply isQC = Pc1.
