On December 8, 1986, because of a severe business downturn, Ingram Manufacturing Company laid off 61 bargaining unit employees at plant no. 28. Then on June 12, 1987, the company subcontracted with Monroe Manufacturing Company for 49 wheels. Monroe Manufacturing Company was to fit, weld and machine the core of the wheel according to Ingram Manufacturing Company’s design. The local union representing workers at plant no. 28 has decided to file a grievance, alleging that the Company has violated the collective bargaining agreement by subcontracting work while employees are on layoff.

Assume that each unit of labor costs $10 (the wage for a breakfast shift) and that fixed cost is $5. Also assume that there are no ingredient costs or electricity costs (just to make it easier).
Derive the cost curves: MC AVC and ATC. Then sketch them (its best to draw and then submit a pdf or jpeg)
Hint: You don’t have enough detail to do MC for each unit of output, so you need to find it for the increments shown in the table (for example MC for the first 10 breakfasts is $10 or $1 per breakfast in that range so put $1 as MC per unit there) So you are finding MC per unit for units in each range based on the info given.
Fill in columns for MC AVC and ATC and graph those cost curves.

Assume that country X subsidizes its exports and country Y imposes a countervailing tariff that offset the subsidy. Explain why the relative prices in country Y would be unchanged. Discuss the welfare effects in the two countries. What would be the effect if country Y retaliates with an export subsidy but without countervailing tariffs on the product?

Assume markets are perfectly competitive. By means of carefully drawn graphs, illustrate the costs and benefits of: (1) a tariff for the importing country; (2) an export subsidy; and (3) an import quota. How do the welfare effects of voluntary export restraints compare with tariff and quotas policies?
