Suppose computers are imported into the US from Japan and face a tariff of $75 each. Assume the market for computers is competitive and the world price of a computer is $750. Suppose also that parts required to assemble computers can also be imported from abroad, are valued at $450, and face no tariffs when imported into the US. What is the effective rate of protection provided to US assemblers/ sellers of computers by the tariff schedule for computers?
