If a 20 percent tariff is levied on bikes of the same quality and with the same features, how do the price and the domestic value added change? (Assume the United States cannot cause the world price to change.) c. What is the effective rate of protection? d. If in addition to the 20 percent tariff on the final good, a 20 percent tariff on imported parts is also levied, what is the effective rate of protection for U.S. bike manufacturers? |
