Kawmin is a small country that produces and consumesjelly beans. The world price of jelly beans is$1 per bag, and Kawmin’s domestic demand andsupply for jelly beans are governed by the followingequations:Demand: QD = 8 − PSupply: QS = P,where P is in dollars per bag and Q is in bags of jellybeans.a. Draw a well-labeled graph of the situation inKawminif the nation does not allow trade.Calculatethe following (recalling that the area ofa triangle is ½ × base × height): the equilibriumprice and quantity, consumer surplus, producersurplus, and total surplus.b. Kawmin then opens the market to trade. Drawanother graph to describe the new situation inthe jelly bean market. Calculate the equilibriumprice, quantities of consumption and production,imports, consumer surplus, producer surplus, andtotal surplus.c. After a while, the Czar of Kawmin respondsto the pleas of jelly bean producers by placinga $1 per bag tariff on jelly bean imports. On a graph, show the effects of…

The demand for cameras in a certain country is given by D = 8000 – 30P, where P is the price of acamera. Supply by domestic camera producers is S = 4000 + 10P. If this economy opens to tradewhile the world price of a camera is $50, and the government imposes a tariff of $30 per camera,what will be the quantity of cameras that this country imports or exports?

Suppose you have the following for white t-shirts market:Market demand is P=125-(3/8)QMarket supply is P=5+(1/8)Q. there is now a global supply that is horizontal at $15. But the government now imposes a tariff of $5 per unit of t-shirt.a. Obviously the world price and domestic price will now be $20. Calculate the quantityproduced and demanded domestically? b. Using graphs show the changes in CS (Consumer Surplus) and PS (Producer Surplus) comparedto Free Trade. Show also the government revenue, which is tariff per t-shirt times the new level of imports. Who gains in comparison to Free Trade scenario? Who loses? What is the welfare gain or loss? Show by using graphs.
Assume that you have been hired by an International Organization to be consulted on variousissues that the country Motherland faces. For this exercise, assume that Motherland is a smallagricultural economy. (a) Motherland imports electronics from the United States. The government of Motherland is considering to impose quotas on these electronics imports coming from the United States. Would you recommend it? Explain your answer. In your explanation, distinguish the effect on the consumers of electronics, the domestic producers of electronics and the government. (b)The government of Motherland wants to jump start industrial production. Over time the main objective is to convert this agricultural economy into an industrial nation. On the basis of the experiences of Argentina and Singapore, what policies would you suggest?
. The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S. consumers is given by the demand curve Qd = 150 − 10P, where Qd is quantity (in millions of pounds) and P is the market price per pound of coffee. Suppose the domestic supply is Qs = 10P −50. The U.S. coffee market is competitive. Suppose that the world price of coffee is $6. Congress is considering a tariff on coffee imports of $2 per pound. (a) Find the producer and consumer surplus if there was no trade. (b) Calculate the consumer and producer surplus after we engage in free trade. (c) If the tariff is imposed calculate the changes to consumer and producer surplus. (d) Other than lower prices, provide two benefits that can occur as a result of free trade.
