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. 3. How many bushels of soybeans can the US export to China if there are no tariffs? How many bushels with the imposed tariff?

Who are the greatest benefactors of China’s tariff on US soybeans?
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 = 11.5 – Q          Supply: P = 5.5 + Q Price is in 10 Yuan (¥) per bushel of soybeans and the units for Quantity are 100 million bushels per year. This is to make graphing simpler. This does NOT mean that the price is 10 and quantity is 100. Rather it means that if the price was 40¥ and the quantity was 7,500,000,000 bushels, this would plot as 4 and 7.5 respectively. The world price for soybeans is ¥65/bushel (this would graph as a horizontal line at 6.5). 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: Domestic Demand curve (D), Domestic Supply curve (S), the World Price (WP), and the Price with tariffs (PT), along with the quantities imported both with and without the tariff. Based on your graph, what…

Consider the Colombian market for soybeans. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose Colombia's government currently does not allow international trade in soybeans. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of soybeans and the equilibrium quantity of soybeans in Colombia in the absence of international trade. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in equilibrium. Finally, use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus in equilibrium. Based on the previous graph, total surplus in the absence of international trade is . The following graph shows the same domestic demand and supply curves for soybeans in Colombia. Suppose that the Colombian government changes its international trade policy to allow free trade in soybeans. The horizontal black line (PWPW) represents the world…

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?

Which of the choices describes how the effects of import tariffs and import quotas are different? The domestic cost of an import tariff is larger than the domestic cost of a comparable import quota. Import tariffs create deadweight loss, whereas import quotas do not create deadweight loss. Quotas do not affect the equilibrium price, whereas tariffs do not affect the equilibrium quantity. Some foreign producers receive some of the benefits generated by an import quota.
