Initially, there are no import restrictions on kiwi fruit. The minimum supply price for domestic producers is $0.20, while the minimum supply price for foreign suppliers is $0.08. Each supply curve is linear, with a slope of $0.01 per million pounds. In the initial equilibrium, the price is $0.18 and the quantity is 10 million pounds. The demand curve has a vertical intercept of $0.38 and a slope of minus $0.02 per million pounds.
(a) Draw a graph showing the initial equilibrium.
(b) Suppose imports are banned, raising the price to $0.30. Draw a graph to show the new equilibrium and identify the new equilibrium quantity.
(c) Compute the consumer surplus before the import ban and after the ban.
(d) Suppose the import ban protects 10 jobs in the kiwi fruit industry. What is the cost to consumers for each job protected?

Baldwin has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product bold. labor costs will go from $7.91 to $8.41 per unit. in addition, their material costs have fallen from $13.66 to $12.66. assume all period costs as reported on baldwin's income statement remain the same. if baldwin were to pass on half the new costs of labor and half the savings in materials to customers by adjusting the price of their product, how many units of product bold would need to be sold next round to break even on the product?

Need with my trade theory homework. i doubt what i wrote was right. consider a monopolistically competitive market for soft drinks in which n symmetric firms face the following demand function: q=s(1/n-b(p-(p with the straight line on which implies the marginal revenue functionmr=p-(q/sb)finally, suppose firms face the total cost functiontc=900,000+100qsuppose the market size, s, is 27,000,000, and the elasticity parameter b is 0.003.diagram the price and the average total cost in the market as a function of the number of firms. what are the equations for each curve, and why does each curve slope up or down? label the equilibrium number of firms and the equilibrium price in the diagram. why is this the equilibrium?

When paul o’neill joined alcoa as ceo, he set a , that there would be zero workplace accidents. a lot of people in the organization thought this was impossible given how dangerous some aluminum-manufacturing jobs are, but alcoa’s safety record improved tremendously. as the board of governors of the american red cross considers planning, one option is to make strategic plans and then direct managers to align tactical and operational plans accordingly. another option is to have planning specialists managers across the organization make their own plans. why might this organization’s executives opt for the latter approach? check all that apply. (a) the environment is a dynamic one, and department and frontline managers can come up with more responsive plans than can central leadership. (b)resources will be better coordinated across the organization in support of the overall strategy.(c) senior leadership will have more control over the organization’s direction. (d)when managers come up with their own plans, they are likely to be more committed to following through on them.
