Consider the Home country with the demand curve for iPods given by
P = 500 -10Q, and the Home supply curve given by

P=2Qexp.
(a) Calculate the world price of an iPod. How much is imported by Home at this price?
(b) Assume that the government at Home decided to use the import tariff of $100. Calculate the new world price, the new imported quantity and the tariff revenues collected by the government.
