“Conflicts in Russia and Ukraine are likely to affect how much wheat is available for purchase in global market since Russia and Ukraine are major global wheat exporters. When there is a shortage of wheat, bread prices usually rise. Therefore, the price of bread and other bread based products would rise in different wheat importing countries globally.” a.

Suppose firms incur transportation costs to sell their product abroad. How do transportation costs affect the prices that firms charge abroad? Suppose the price offered at home and in the export market is identical, but there are transport costs to ship the good abroad. Does dumping occur? How does an increase in the number of product varieties benefit an importing country? Explain how increasing returns to scale in production can be a basis for trade. Why is trade within a country greater than trade between countries? Why would you expect sellers of branded goods with high upfront research and development costs to be more interested in free trade than producers who do not incur any fixed costs? Focus attention on the Ricardian model, the Heckscher-Ohlin model, and the monopolistic competition model if trade. Consider the intra-industry trade index for each model. What value for the index does each models predict? Explain your answer.
CENGAGE MINDTAP MindTap Assignment 4 (Chapters 9,13) Q s The following graph shows the same domestic supply and demand curves for pears in Zambia. Now, suppose that the Zambian government changes its stance on international trade, deciding to allow free trade in pears. The horizontal black line (Pw) represents the world price of pears at $350 per ton. Assume that Zambia's entry into the world market for pears has no effect on the world price and there are no transportation or transaction costs associated with international trade in pears. Also assume that domestic suppliers will satisfy domestic demand as much as possible before any exporting or importing takes place. Use the green triangle (triangle symbol) to shade in the area representing consumer surplus, and then use the purple triangle (diamond symbol) to shade in the area representing producer surplus. PRICE (Dollars per ton) 380 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 365 350 335 320 305 290 275 260 245 230 O 25 50 50 75 100 125 150…

Short Answer Question Scenario I Suppose the domestic supply (Q) and demand (QD) for MP3 players in the United States is represented by the following set of equations: Q$ = -25 + 10P (supply) QD = 875 - 5P (demand) Refer to Scenario I. If the United States engages in free trade and the international price of MP3 players is $50. (a) Compute the equilibrium price and quantity (without international trade). Show your work to get full credit. (b) Compute the quantity demanded and quantity supplied when the price changes from the equilibrium price to a new price of $50. Show your work to get full credit. (c) Will this country export or import when the price changes to $50? Show your work to get full credit. (d) Compute the change in both the consumer and producer surplus when the price changes from the equilibrium price to a new price of $50. Show your work to get full credit. (e) Compute the net national welfare given the new price of $50. Show your work to get full credit.
Suppose that the world price of oil is roughly $90.00 per barrel and that the world demand and total world supply of oil equal 34 billion barrels per year (bb/yr), with a competitive supply of 20 bb/yr and 14 bb/yr from OPEC. Statistical studies have shown that the long-run price elasticity of demand for oil is -0.40, and the long-run competitive price elasticity of supply is 0.40. Using this information, derive linear demand and competitive supply curves for oil. Let the demand curve be of the general form Q=a-bP and the competitive supply curve be of the general form Q=c+dP, where a, b, c, and d are constants. The equation for the long-run demand curve is A.Q=47.50-0.15P. B.Q=13.50-47.50P. C.Q=47.50-P. D.Q=47.50+0.15P. E.Q=13.50-0.15P.

Suppose a big country with a good's demand described by P = 96 - 4Q and a good's supply described by P = 24 + 2Q implements a $12 tariff, which ultimately decreases the world price from $32 to $28. (a) Calculate the total surplus under each scenario: no trade, free trade, and protected trade. (b) Calculate the terms-of-trade gain that is created by the tariff. (c) Calculate the total surplus if this is a small country instead of a big country under the same market and tariff as above (government charging the same amount per unit imported).
