Scenario 9-1 For a small country called Boxland, the equation of the domestic demand curve for cardboard is Q D = 200 − 2P , where Q D represents the domestic quantity of cardboard demanded, in tons, and P represents the price of a ton of cardboard. For Boxland, the equation of the domestic supply curve for cardboard is Q S = -60 + 3P , where Q S represents the domestic quantity of cardboard supplied, in tons, and P again represents the price of a ton of cardboard. Refer to Scenario 9-1. Suppose the world price of cardboard is $45. Then, relative to the no-trade situation, international trade in cardboard a. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $672 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50. b. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $721 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50. c. harms Boxlandian consumers by $336 and harms Boxlandian producers by $525.00. d. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $721 and harms Boxlandian producers by $525.00.
