The following graph shows the market for wheat in the European Union (EU). The world price of wheat is $4.00 per bushel, so Sworld represents the
world supply assuming that the EU cannot affect the world price of wheat. To support the agricultural sector, the EU guarantees a certain price for the
farmers by imposing a variable levy of $4.00 per bushel to limit the import of wheat.
On the graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the support price the farmers receive due to the variable $4.00 levy.
Note: Select and drag the line segment from the palette to the graph. Then select a point on the line segment and drag it to its desired position.

The following graph represents Canada's domestic supply and demand for coffee.Assume that Brazil is the only country producing and selling coffee in the world market.
B) The government opens the market to free trade, and Brazil enters the market, pricingcoffee at $1 per pound.
i. What will happen to the domestic price of coffee?ii. What will be the new domestic quantity supplied and domestic quantity demanded?iii. How much coffee will be imported from Brazil?
Suppose Zambia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Since
Zambia is small relative to the international market, the demand for and supply
of soybeans in Zambia have no impact on the world price. The following graph
shows the domestic market for soybeans in Zambia. The world price of a ton of
soybeans is PW = $250. Use the following graph to show the effects of the $
10 tariff. Use the black line (plus symbol) to indicate the world price plus the
tariff. Then, use the green points (triangle symbols) to show the consumer
surplus with the tariff and the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to show the
producer surplus with the tariff. Lastly, use the orange quadrilateral (square
symbols) to shade the area representing government revenue received from
the tariff and the tan points (rectangle symbols) to shade the areas
representing deadweight loss (DWL) caused by the tariff.

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.

- The year is 2005. For many years the US has restricted textile imports from China using quotas. Now under WTO the US is having to eliminate the quotas and allow china to export textiles to the US free of quotas. Use the principles of demand and supply to analyze the effect of this action on: the US textile industry, the US textile consumers, the textile industry of Vietnam (another textile producing country) that has been exporting textile to the US without quotas. Remember to tell us: who gains, and who loses in each case.arrow_forwardThe graph above is the U.S. market for some imported good. Supply is a flat curve.
