Explanation / Answer

35. After the free tarde is open, the dollar value of widget import = World price = $40.The correct option Is (B)

36. Gain to society = TSafter trade – TS before trade.

TS = CS +PS

CS = ½(100-46)*108 = 2916

PS = ½*(46-10)*108 = 1944

TS before trade = 2916+1944 = 4860

After tax

CS = ½*(100-40)*120 = 3600

PS = ½*(40-10)*90 = 1350

TS after trade = 1350+3600 = 4950

Gain = 4950-4860 = $90

Option (F) is correct

37. TEC = 1/6Q^2

TEC = 1/6*(120)^2

TEC = 2400

TS = 4950-2400

TS = 2550

Thus the correct option is (E)
