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. Based on the information provided, the effective rate of protection that CompuGlobal receives from the tariff is

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%

Answer:

A.

They ensure that people and businesses can buy what they need.

Explanation:

Borrowing involves requesting and receiving a huge sum of money in a lump sum. Households and firms borrow from lenders to finance business expansion or domestic consumption.

In the economy, borrowing is significant as it facilitates the acquisition of start-up capital, capital goods, and household developments. Without borrowing and lending, these investments and consumption would not be possible as they require large sums of money to initialize. If firms and households depended on savings for capital and consumption expenditure, the rate of economic growth would be very slow. It would take many years to achieve the substantial amount needed for expansion and development projects.

If the price elasticity of supply is 0.5 and the quantity supplied decreases by 6%, then the price must have decreased by 3%. a.
PolarNik [594]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.

The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.

Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price

0.5 = -6% / Change in price

0.5 * Change in price = -6%

Change in price = -6% / 0.5

= -12%

The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%

Analyst 1 suggested that the demand curve for newspapers in Baltimore might have shifted to the right because people were becomi
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

A shift to the right of the demand curve can be caused by any factor other than price that increases the willingless of consumers to purchase a product of service (in this case newspapers).

Two other events can result in a shift to the right of the demand curve for newspapers:

  • Local elections are held in Baltimore - when local elections are held, people become more interested in following local news in order to decide their vote, therefore, they are willing to purchase more newspapers.
  • A dramatic event occurs in Baltimore - it could be a natural disaster, a massacre, or an economic crisis, if things become too far from normal, people will want to learn about what is happening, and will look out for information in newspapers.
