Given this information, what will be the world equilibrium price and quantity traded? Given that the fixed cost of setting up a production chain of earphones by exporting country in importing country is $15, and the cost of transportation is $0.5 per earphone exported, which mode the exporting country will prefer and why: exporting earphones or producing earphones in importing country itself? Give (ii) reasons for your answer.

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.
c) China is the major importer of Canadian wheat. Its demand (QPH) and supply (Q°h) for wheat is given respectively by QPH = 500 – 10 PH QSH = 170 + 5 PH Derive the excess demand curve for wheat in China. ( and d) What would wheat price be in China in the absence of trade? e) If Canada and China are allowed to trade with one another, what will be the price and the volume of trade? ( f) The trade war has heated up and China imposes a tariff of $2.40 per bushel. Determine the effect of the tariff on: (1) the price of wheat in each country, (2) the quantity of wheat produced and consumed in each country, and (3) the volume of trade. g) Properly label to illustrate the excess demand for China and excess supply curve for Canada on the same graph with free trade and with the import tariff of $2.4 imposed.
3. Suppose we divide the world into 2 regions, A and B, and that: Region A's demand curve for microwaves is given by: DA = 1,800-20P. Its supply curve is: SA = 25P Region B's demand curve for microwaves is given by: DB = 1,375-40P. Its supply curve is: SB = 15P (a) Under no trade, what will be the equilibrium price and quantity is each region? (b) Under no trade, what will be the consumer surplus and producer surplus in each region? (c) When trade occurs, which region will export microwaves? Explain briefly. (d) Under free trade and zero transportation cost, what would be the world price of wine? (e) Under free trade, how many microwaves will be exported/imported? (f) Under free trade, what will be the consumer surplus and producer surplus in each region?
Suppose the demand and the supply for lumber (harvested wood processed in a sawmill) used for construction in Australia are given byQD =100 – 2PQS = 1/2PAssume also that the market is perfectly competitive.Suppose the lumber market described was closed to the rest of the world. Now it opens to trade and the world price of lumber is 20. Compute the equilibrium price, quantity supplied by domestic producers, and quantity demanded by domestic consumers.2.Use a demand and supply graph to show how consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus change with international trade.3. Now suppose that Country A is a major exporter of lumber to Australia and in an effort to impose sanctions on Country A, Australia imposes a tariff of t=10 on all lumber imported into Australia. Use a graph of supply and demand to show how the tariff changes consumer, producer and total surplus.4. Calculate the equilibrium price, quantity produced and demanded domestically, tariff revenue, and deadweight loss.
22. < Previou Suppose there are three countries in the world: Volcania, Portlandia, and Minitown.
