- Suppose there is an increase in the demand of the imported commodity subject to a given import quota, determine whether each of the following statements is true, false, or uncertain. Statement I – There will be no change in the quantity of the commodity consumed. Statement II – There will be an increase in the domestic price of the commodity.Consider that the current world price for copper ore is $5.20 per pound. Suppose the domestic market for copper ore in Chile is described by the following demand and supply equations, respectively: P = 8.80 -0.015Q and P = 0.8 +0.025Q, where P is the price per pound, measured in dollars, and Q is the quantity measured in thousands of pounds per month. Similarly, suppose that the domestic market for copper ore in Japan is described by the following demand and supply equations: P = 6.80 -0.02Q and P = 0.8 +0.04Q, where P is the price per pound, measured in dollars, and Q is the quantity measured in thousands of pounds per month. (Question 7 of 8) After receiving requests from lobbyists and domestic producers, the government of the importing country imposes a tariff of $0.30 in the market for copper ore. As a result of the government's policy, what is the change in the government's revenue in the importing country?

- The market for pencils has a domestic demand equation P=20−0.5Q�=20−0.5�, and a domestic supply equation P=5+Q�=5+�, where quantity is measured in thousands. The world supply equation for pencils is PW=10��=10. The domestic government decides to implement a tariff of $10 per thousand pencils. As a result of the tariff, the new domestic price of pencils isThe numbers i have in are all incorrect, please help D ง The domestic supply and demand curves for Jolt coffee beans are given by P= 20 + 1Q and P= 140-2Q, respectively, where Pis the price in dollars per bushel, and Q is the quantity in millions of bushels per year. The United States produces and consumes only a trivial fraction of world Jolt bean output, and the current world price of $35/bushel is unaffected by events in the U.S. market. Transportation costs are also negligible. Instructions: Enter your answer for price to the nearest dollar. For the number of bushels, enter your answer rounded to 1 decimal place. D a. How much will U.S. consumers pay for a bushel of Jolt coffee beans, and how many bushels per year will they consume? Price: $ 60/bushel Number of bushels: 40 million bushels per year.
