Draw graphs and show your calculations in answering these questions. You should write sentences for each answer. The demand for sugar in the United States is characterized by the equation P = 13 - Q/1000, where Q is tons of sugar. U.S. producers of sugar will supply sugar to the U.S. market based on the equation P = 4 + Q/200. The rest of the world will sell as much sugar as U.S. consumers will purchase for a price of $6 (Hint: the supply curve for the rest of the world is flat at $6). Answer the following questions. Each part is worth one point. If there is free trade between the U.S. and the rest of the world, (Hint for figuring out the price: Will people pay more than the world price if they have the opportunity to pay the world price?)
