Suppose Zambia is open to free trade in the world market for oranges. Because of Zambia's small size, the demand for and supply of oranges Zambia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic oranges market in Zambia. The world price of oranges is Pw=s ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS).

Show graphically that for any tariff, there is an equivalent quota that would give the same result. What would be the difference, then, between the two types of trade barriers? Hint: It is not something you can see from the graph.
Assume two countries, Thailand (T) and Japan (J), have one good: cameras. The demand (d) and supply (s) for cameras In Thailand and Japan is described by the following functions: QsT=-5+14P QsJ=-10+14P QdT=60-P QdJ=80-P P is the price measured in a common currency used in both countries, such as the Thai Baht. Compute the equilibrium price (P) and quantities in each country without trade. Now assume that free trade occurs. The free-trade price goes to 56.36 Baht. Who exports and Imports cameras and in what quantities?
In Germany it takes three workers to make one television and four workers to make one video camera. In Poland It takes six workers to make one television and 12 workers to make one video camera. Who has the absolute advantage in the production of televisions? Who has the absolute advantage in the production of video cameras? How can you tell? Calculate the opportunity cost of producing one additional television set in Germany and In Poland. (Your calculation may involve fractions, which Is tine.) Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of televisions? Calculate the opportunity cost of producing one video camera in Germany and in Poland. Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of video cameras? In this example, is absolute advantage the same as comparative advantage, or not? In what product should Germany specialize? In what product should Poland specialize?
Suppose Guatemala is open to free trade in the world market for oranges. Because of Guatemala’s small size, the demand for and supply of oranges in Guatemala do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic oranges market in Guatemala. The world price of oranges is PWPW=$800 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS). 1. If Guatemala allows international trade in the market for oranges, it will import _____ tons of oranges. 2. Now suppose the Guatemalan government decides to impose a tariff of $120 on each imported ton of oranges. After the tariff, the price Guatemalan consumers pay for a ton of oranges is _____ and Guatemala will import _____ tons of oranges. 3. Show the effects of the $120 tariff on the following…
The graph below shows the market for tires in the United States, a nation that is open to international trade but is assumed to be a price taker unable to affect the world price of tires. a. Using the graph above, at the world price of $80 per tire, how many tires will the United States import? _____million tires Now Suppose the U.S. government imposes a quota as shown in the graph above. b. Using this same graph, indicate the new market equilibrium with the quota imposed and the domestic quantity supplied (Qs). Instructions: Use the tools provided "New Equilibrium" and "Qs + quota" to indicate the new market price, quantity demanded, and domestic quantity supplied with this quota. c. As a consequence of this quota, how many tires will the United States import now? _____million tires How many tires will be supplied domestically? _____million tires Now suppose instead that the U.S. government imposes a quota with the goal of reducing the number of tires…
Refer to Figure 3.6, page 55. Assume that the graph depicts the U.S. domestic market for corn. How many bushels of corn, if any, will the United States export or import at a world price of $1, $2, $3, $4, and $5? Use this information to construct the U.S. export supply curve and import demand curve for corn. Suppose the only other corn-producing nation is France, where the domestic price is $4. Which country will export corn; which will import it?
