Suppose that the world price of oil is $70 per barrel and that the United States can buy all the oil it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for oil in the United Sta follows: Price ($ per Barrel) 55 60 65 70 75 U.S. Quantity Demanded 26 24 22 20 18 U.S. Quantity Supplied 14 16 18 20 22 Now suppose that the United States allows no oil imports. The equilibrium price in the United states is $ 70 per barrel and the equilibrium quantity is 20 million barrels. If the United States imposed a price ceiling of $65 per barrel on the oil market and prohibited imports, there would be an of excess supply excess demand million barrels of oil.

PRICE (Dolars) Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 24 72 1.20 QUANTITY (Millions of towels) Price (World) Price (Quota) (7) In the absence of foreign trade, the equilibrium price of a towel is domestic quantity supplied equal million towels. At this price, both the domestic quantity demanded and the Suppose that trade between the United States and China is open and that the United States initially imposes no tariffs or quotas on towels imported from China. Assume that China has a comparative advantage in producing towels and charges the world price of $12 per towel. (Note: Throughout the problem, assume that the amount demanded by any one country does not affect the world price of towels.) On the previous graph, use the grey line (star symbol) to indicate the world price of towels. million towels, the quantity of towels supplied by At the world price of $12 per towel, the quantity of towels demanded by U.S. buyers is U.S.…
Kawmin is a small country that produces and consumesjelly beans. The world price of jelly beans is$1 per bag, and Kawmin’s domestic demand andsupply for jelly beans are governed by the followingequations:Demand: QD = 8 − PSupply: QS = P,where P is in dollars per bag and Q is in bags of jellybeans.a. Draw a well-labeled graph of the situation inKawminif the nation does not allow trade.Calculatethe following (recalling that the area ofa triangle is ½ × base × height): the equilibriumprice and quantity, consumer surplus, producersurplus, and total surplus.b. Kawmin then opens the market to trade. Drawanother graph to describe the new situation inthe jelly bean market. Calculate the equilibriumprice, quantities of consumption and production,imports, consumer surplus, producer surplus, andtotal surplus.c.

If the United States is currently importing 14 million barrels per day at a world price of $4.00 per unit (the entire amount consumed), what is the effect on imports of a tax equal to $4.00 per unit? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, help determine the quantity of U.S. crude oil imports after the $4.00 per-unit tax by drawing a horizontal line at the price paid by U.S. consumers. Label this line + Tax'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, determine quantity demanded at the price paid by U.S. consumers after the imposition of the import tax. Label this line 'Pop'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, determine quantity supplied at the price paid by U.S. consumers after the imposition of the import tax. Label this line "Pas". Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. The amount of imports after the $4.00 per-unit tax is million barrels per day. Before the tax, domestic producers supplied 0 barrels of crude oil. They now supply million barrels Price per barrel…
