Consider a small (home) country with the following inverse demand of: P = 200 − 3QD and inverse supplyof: P = 20 + QS for a barrel of oil. The world demand is perfectly horizontal with a price of: P^X = 100.Solve the following for the home country:A) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantityB) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus (note the shape), and total surplusNow, suppose the home country opens up to free trade.C) Calculate the quantity supplied, quantity demanded, export quantity, and priceD) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplusNow, suppose the home country is open to free trade and provides an export subsidy of $15 per barrel of oil.E) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantityF) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, tax revenue, and total surplusG) Explain how the three outcomes: no trade, free trade, and trade with an export tariff, affect the homecountry (consumers, producers, and overall welfare)H) What changes if the home country replaces the export subsidy with a subsidy on all domestic production?
