I did it like the mpc for domestic goods was higher in home than the elasticity of demand for the foreigners imports since on the horizontal axis of their offer curve is our exportable. Due to the increase in imported goods price due to tariff the relative demand for home goods will increase and relative supply will also increase so there will be a rise in home's terms of trade and relative price of imports will fall.. I selected option a but i think i am pretty much wrong :(
First part was 3/10 i guess.. The ICs will be positively sloped... Its the bad-good case. The question says utility was decreasing in effort... Thats different from the diminishing MUs
I did not attempt it :( and Akshay ya i hope they give grace marks for errors like these cuz kal vaale paper mein bhi there were 3-4 errors like these...
last year's cutoff was 90, coz most ppl scored 95, But last year's paper was a cakewalk compared to dis year's so dis year fingers crossed. and dat PPP ans will be... dat country A is worse off... just wat Rhidima said. IC will be +vely sloped, no idea about dat probability question :( there is always one wrong question in SIS phew!

last yr's cutoff was 87-88. I also suppose this yrs cutoff will be li'll less..
If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below:
in the tariff question,where we were required to find if the countries' domestic price increases or decreases,we will apply the metzler paradox. whenever the foreign offer curves, price elasticity is low,the tarrif has a perverse impact on domestic import good's price.
