Note: Same information for questions 1-7, except where noted. For questions 1-7, use any information only after it is given. At a certain point you are told which good is capital-intensive, don’t use that information to answer any questions that come before. The two figures show the Production Possibilities Frontier for two countries, Home and Foreign. Also shown for each country is the indifference curve that is tangent to its PPF. There are two factors: capital and labor. There are two goods, Movies and Books. For questions 6 and 7 only, suppose that Movies are the capital-intensive good. Home is the…

Note: Same information for questions 17-25. The graph below depicts the supply and demand curves for KlunkerCars (a toy car) in a certain country. The world price of KlunkerCars with free trade is $8. When the country imposes a tariff, the world price goes down to $2 and the price in the country goes up to $11. NOTES on the graph: if two lines seem to cross, simply assume that they do cross; if they seem to cross a grid point assume that they cross at exactly that grid point. For example, the supply and demand cross at a price of $14, and a quantity of 120. Because of this convention, you can get all the exact answers for this problem, and there is no need to allow for approximations. Also, all answers are whole numbers. Please be careful in your calculations, and enter exact and whole numbers only. How much is the government revenue from the tariff?

Note: Same information for questions 9-12. The world is composed of two countries: North and South. There are two goods: tea and coffee. There are two factors of production: capital and labor. North is the capital-abundant country, tea is the capital-intensive good. Which theorem should be used to answer question 9?

Please be careful in your calculations, and enter exact and whole numbers only. Suppose that the answers to the previous two questions were: loss in consumer surplus = 500; and government revenue = 1000. Calculate by how much the country as a whole gained or lost with the tariff. Enter a positive number for a gain, and a negative number for a loss. (Hint: the answer is not 500, nor is it –500.)

Suppose that the country imposed a quota instead of a tariff, and the quota resulted in the same decrease in the volume of imports as the tariff. How much was that quota?
