CompuGlobal is an American firm producing computers. CompuGlobal imports computer components from Taiwan and assembles them dome

stically. Suppose that in the United States, a computer sells for $800 and that 60% of the computer’s value comes from the value of the imported components. The United States imposes a 50% tariff on computers and a 10% tariff on the computer’s components. Assume that costs of producing components are the same in the United States and Taiwan and that transit costs are nonexistent.

Answer: 110%

Explanation:

The effective rate of protection is used in measuring the final tariff in a particular sector and it's expressed as:

g = (t -ai,ti) / (1 - ai)

where,

g = effective protection rate

ai = nominal tariff rate = 0.6

t = cost of intermediate input = 0.5

ti = nominal tariff on intermediate input = 0.1

The computer price here is $800 while the input price is 60% of $800 which will be:

= 60% × $800 = $480

nominal tariff rate = 480/800 = 0.6

Nominal tariff on final goods, t = 50% = 0.5

Tariff on imported input, ti = 10% = 0.1

Using the formula:

g = (t -ai,ti) / (1 - ai)

g = [0.5 - (0.6×0.1)] / (1 - 0.6)

g = (0.5 - 0.06) / 0.4

g = 0.44/.0.4

g = 1.10

g = 110%

The effective rate of protection is 110%

Ulleksa [173]

PART I

Answer:

The business idea is that of a Bakery that specializes in pastry that is mixed with fruits.

Explanation:

SWOT

Strengths

  • Unique Value Proposition which is healthier bread and cake recipes
  • 20 years experience in baking which translates to strong industry  knowledge

Weaknesses

  • Insufficient Equipment to go with
  • Weak or zero visibility for new business

Opportunities

  • Little or no competition as the recipes are unique to me
  • Huge demand for healthier pastry especially in my current location

Threats

  • The industry is heavily regulated and may be shut down if there are compliance issues
  • One competition that knows what they are doing and combines pastry with healthy drinks such as smoothies. We don't do smoothies.

Part II

Answer:

The persons I would give the business plan to are:

  • My family
  • An angel investor who I met on LinkedIn who supports small businesses and start-ups
  • My banker of over 20 years

  1. I would give the business plan to my family members because they are the easiest people to raise funds from and also because family, can decide to contribute in cash or in-kind with no interest required.
  2. I would give the business plan to an angel investor because their funds are cheaper than those of the banks though a little more difficult to come by
  3. Banks always have the funds but the funds come at a higher cost than the first two.
