Suppose that under free trade a final good F has a price of $1,000 and that the prices of two inputs,A and B, used in the productionof F are PA= $300 andPB= 500 and that one unit each of A and B is used in producing one unit of F. Suppose also that a tariff of 20 percentis placed on good F, while imported inputs had tariffs of 20 percent and 30 percent respectively. Calculate the effective rate of tariff protection for domesticindustryproducing good F and interpret the meaning of your result ( All steps mustbe shown to obtain full credit). Note: v = value added without tariff and v' = value added with tariff.
