Consider a good that the U.S. imports, such as shoes.

a) Suppose there is a fall in the world price of shoes. Show the effects of this development both in a PPC/CPC diagram (with shoes on the horizontal axis and everything else on the vertical axis) and in a supply and demand diagram with international trade. How will the fall in the world price affect U.S. shoe production, U.S. shoe consumption, and U.S. shoe imports?

b)How will the fall in the world price of shoes affect consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total economic surplus in the U.S.?
