2. Comparing tariff, quota, and subsidy Aa Aa Which of the following statements regarding the effects of a tariff, quota, and subsidy are correct? Check all that apply. A subsidy involves smaller sacrifices in national welfare than occur under an equivalent tariff or quota. The direct cost of the subsidy is borne by foreign producers. A subsidy yields the same result for domestic producers as does an equivalent tariff or quota, but at a higher cost. Tariffs and quotas distort choices for domestic consumers and cause less efficient home production.

5. A graphical comparison of tariffs and quotas Alagir and Ertil are small countries that protect their economic growth from rapidly advancing globalization by limiting the import of rugs to 20 million. To this end, each country imposes a different type of trade barrier when the world price (Pw) is $2,000. In Alagir, the government decides to impose a tariff of $3,000 per rug; in Ertil, the government implements a quota of 20 million rugs. Assume that Alagir and Ertil have identical domestic demand (Do) and supply (S) curves for rugs as shown on the following graph. Under these conditions, the price of rugs is $5,000 per rug in each country. 10000 ( ) 8000 8000 7000 8000 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 0 0 Pu 10 Do 20 D₁ XX ✩ XX 30 40 50 60 70 QUANTITY (Millions of rugs) 80 S 90 100 (?)

Country C imports 80,000 metric tons of steel from Country U and produces domestically80,000 metric tons per year. The world price of steel is $500 per metric ton. Assuming linearschedules, research analysts estimated the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.50 and theprice elasticity of domestic demand to be -0.25 in the current market equilibrium. Country Cimposes an import duty of $150 per metric ton that caused the world price to fall by 10%. What are the terms of trade of the Country C steel market after the tariff was imposed? Explain the welfare effects of both countries
