Question

refer to figure 34-1. the u.s. demand and supply for a good are shown. under a policy of free trade, the world price is \\(p_w\\). at this price, producers surplus equals the area of

\\(p_w c b p_n\\).
\\(dbc\\).
\\(p_n b d p_w\\).
\\(p_w de\\).

Explanation:

Identify the market price under free trade

Using the Free Trade Welfare Analysis knowledge point
Under a policy of free trade, domestic producers must accept the world price \(P_W\).

Determine the producer surplus area

Using the Producer Surplus knowledge point

$$ \text{Producer Surplus} = \text{Area below } P_W \text{ and above } S_{\text{US}} = P_WDE $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(P_W C B P_N\)
  • (B) \(DBC\)
  • (C) \(P_N B D P_W\)
  • (D) \(P_WDE\) (Correct answer)
