Thought Process:

Rendered Raw Text
**Calculating surplus in autarky and trade** I start by calculating the price, which comes out to P = 850. Then, I determine the consumer surplus in autarky by finding the area of the triangle between the demand curve and that price down to a quantity of 150. The area results in 18,750 for both consumer and producer surpluses, giving a total surplus of 37,500. Moving to free trade with a world price of 1,000, France will likely export since the world price exceeds the autarky price. I need to analyze the demand at this new price.**Calculating domestic demand and surplus with trade** So, I've calculated domestic demand at a price of 1,000, where Qd turns out to be 60 tons. For supply at that price, Qs comes out to 240 tons, leading to exports of 180 tons. Next, I determine consumer surplus with trade, which is the area between the demand curve and price 1,000 up to Q=60, resulting in a consumer surplus of 3,000. The producer surplus is found from the area between price 1,000 and the supply curve up to Q=240, giving a producer surplus of 48,000. Thus, the total surplus with trade is 51,000.**Calculating gains from trade** I start by checking the pre-trade surplus, which is 37,500. The gains from trade amount to 13,500. When looking at changes, producer surplus increases by 29,250 (from 48,000 to 18,750). However, consumer surplus decreases by 15,750 (from 18,750 to 3,000). Net gain equals 13,500, which I recognize represents the area of two triangles eliminating deadweight loss. Next, I analyze the areas representing gains, noting the wedge between 850 and 1,000 across the quantities involved, leading me to 13,500. I’ll ensure to present a detailed, step-by-step explanation for clarity.**Filling in trade surplus details** The first question asks for the total surplus absent international trade, which is 37,500. For the second question, I have the following numbers: With free trade, consumer surplus (CS) is 3,000, while without it, CS is 18,750. Producer surplus (PS) with free trade stands at 48,000, compared to 18,750 without trade. When France allows free trade, the price adjusts to 1,000, leading to a demand of 60 tons and a supply of 240 tons domestically. Thus, France will export 180 tons. I'll confirm the consistency of these numbers, and it seems that everything checks out. I’ll also provide a step-by-step explanation and the necessary formulas.**Preparing final response on trade** First, I’ll recover the supply and demand equations from the graph intercepts: Supply is P = 600 + (5/3)Q, and Demand is P = 1100 - (5/3)Q. To find the equilibrium, I get Q* = 150 and P* = 850. The consumer surplus in autarky is calculated as 18,750, and producer surplus is also 18,750, resulting in a total of 37,500. When moving to free trade at a price of 1,000, domestic demand is 60 tons, supply is 240 tons, leading to exports of 180 tons. The consumer surplus in free trade is 3,000, while producer surplus increases to 48,000. In total, the net change is +13,500. I’ll present these values with bullet points for clarity, ensuring no heavy formatting. Also, I’ll emphasize that the world price line crosses the axis at 1,000, marking consumption at 60 tons. That way, everything is clear and organized!

Step 1: Read the market curves from the graph - Domestic demand goes from (Q=0, P=1100) to (Q=300, P=600): P = 1100 − (5/3)Q - Domestic supply goes from (Q=0, P=600) to (Q=300, P=1100): P = 600 + (5/3)Q Autarky (no trade) - Equilibrium: set demand = supply 600 + (5/3)Q = 1100 − (5/3)Q → (10/3)Q = 500 → Q* = 150 P* = 600 + (5/3)(150) = 600 + 250 = 850 - Consumer surplus (triangle under demand above P* from Q=0 to 150): CS_aut = 1/2 × 150 × (1100 − 850) = 1/2 × 150 × 250 = 18,750 - Producer surplus (triangle above supply below P* from Q=0 to 150): PS_aut = 1/2 × 150 × (850 − 600) = 18,750 - Total surplus without trade: TS_aut = 18,750 + 18,750 = 37,500 Answer to Question 1: Based on the information from the previous graph, absent international trade total surplus is $37,500. Step 2: Allow free trade with world price Pw = $1,000 (France is a potential exporter because Pw > P_aut) - Quantity demanded at Pw: 1000 = 1100 − (5/3)Qd → (5/3)Qd = 100 → Qd = 60 - Quantity supplied at Pw: 1000 = 600 + (5/3)Qs → (5/3)Qs = 400 → Qs = 240 - Exports: Qs − Qd = 240 − 60 = 180 tons Surpluses with free trade - Consumer surplus: CS_free = 1/2 × 60 × (1100 − 1000) = 1/2 × 60 × 100 = 3,000 - Producer surplus: PS_free = 1/2 × 240 × (1000 − 600) = 1/2 × 240 × 400 = 48,000 - Total surplus with free trade: TS_free = 3,000 + 48,000 = 51,000 Changes in surplus (exporting case) - Producer surplus increases by: 48,000 − 18,750 = 29,250 - Consumer surplus decreases by: 18,750 − 3,000 = 15,750 - Net gain in total surplus: 51,000 − 37,500 = 13,500 Answers to Question 2: - Consumer surplus with free trade: $3,000 - Producer surplus with free trade: $48,000 - Consumer surplus without free trade: $18,750 - Producer surplus without free trade: $18,750 - Price with free trade: $1,000 - Quantity demanded at $1,000: 60 tons - Quantity supplied at $1,000: 240 tons - Exports: 180 tons - Producer surplus increases by $29,250, consumer surplus decreases by $15,750 - Net effect on total surplus: gain of $13,500 Final answers summarized: - Autarky total surplus: $37,500 - With free trade: Qd = 60, Qs = 240, exports = 180 - CS_free = $3,000; PS_free = $48,000 - ΔPS = +$29,250; ΔCS = −$15,750; Net gain = +$13,500

# Step-by-Step Solution ## Question 1: Welfare Effects of Free Trade in Autarky ### Step 1: Determine Equilibrium without Trade 1. **Identify Demand and Supply Curves**: - Demand Curve: \( P = 1100 - \frac{5}{3}Q \) - Supply Curve: \( P = 600 + \frac{5}{3}Q \) 2. **Set Demand Equal to Supply**: \[ 600 + \frac{5}{3}Q = 1100 - \frac{5}{3}Q \] \[ \frac{10}{3}Q = 500 \implies Q^* = 150 \] 3. **Calculate Equilibrium Price**: \[ P^* = 600 + \frac{5}{3}(150) = 850 \] ### Step 2: Calculate Consumer and Producer Surplus - **Consumer Surplus (CS)**: \[ CS_{aut} = \frac{1}{2} \times 150 \times (1100 - 850) = \frac{1}{2} \times 150 \times 250 = 18,750 \] - **Producer Surplus (PS)**: \[ PS_{aut} = \frac{1}{2} \times 150 \times (850 - 600) = \frac{1}{2} \times 150 \times 250 = 18,750 \] ### Step 3: Total Surplus without Trade \[ TS_{aut} = CS_{aut} + PS_{aut} = 18,750 + 18,750 = 37,500 \] ### Final Answer for Question 1 **Absent international trade, total surplus is $37,500.** --- ## Question 2: Welfare Effects of Free Trade ### Step 1: Analyze Free Trade Scenario 1. **World Price (Pw)**: - \( Pw = 1,000 \) 2. **Quantity Demanded at Pw**: \[ 1000 = 1100 - \frac{5}{3}Q_d \implies \frac{5}{3}Q_d = 100 \implies Q_d = 60 \] 3. **Quantity Supplied at Pw**: \[ 1000 = 600 + \frac{5}{3}Q_s \implies \frac{5}{3}Q_s = 400 \implies Q_s = 240 \] 4. **Exports**: \[ \text{Exports} = Q_s - Q_d = 240 - 60 = 180 \text{ tons} \] ### Step 2: Calculate Surpluses with Free Trade - **Consumer Surplus (CS)**: \[ CS_{free} = \frac{1}{2} \times 60 \times (1100 - 1000) = \frac{1}{2} \times 60 \times 100 = 3,000 \] - **Producer Surplus (PS)**: \[ PS_{free} = \frac{1}{2} \times 240 \times (1000 - 600) = \frac{1}{2} \times 240 \times 400 = 48,000 \] ### Step 3: Total Surplus with Free Trade \[ TS_{free} = CS_{free} + PS_{free} = 3,000 + 48,000 = 51,000 \] ### Step 4: Changes in Surplus - **Producer Surplus Change**: \[ \Delta PS = PS_{free} - PS_{aut} = 48,000 - 18,750 = 29,250 \] - **Consumer Surplus Change**: \[ \Delta CS = CS_{aut} - CS_{free} = 18,750 - 3,000 = 15,750 \] - **Net Effect on Total Surplus**: \[ \text{Net Gain} = TS_{free} - TS_{aut} = 51,000 - 37,500 = 13,500 \] ### Final Answers for Question 2 - Price with free trade: **$1,000** - Quantity demanded at $1,000: **60 tons** - Quantity supplied at $1,000: **240 tons** - Exports: **180 tons** - Consumer surplus with free trade: **$3,000** - Producer surplus with free trade: **$48,000** - Producer surplus increases by: **$29,250** - Consumer surplus decreases by: **$15,750** - Net effect on total surplus: **gain of $13,500**.
