Suppose it also takes $2000 worth of copper (besides $5000 worth of steel) to produce a car. Calculate the effective rate of protection if there is no import tariff on the imports of either steel or copper. d. Suppose there is an import duty of 20% and 15% on imports of steel and copper, respectively. Calculate the effective tariff rate.

Home Demand: 90 - 2Pt Foreign Demand: 50 - 4Pt*Home Supply: 30 + 2Pt Foreign Supply: 10 + 2Pt* There are demand and supply functions for good corn for the home country and demand and supply functions for good wheat for the foreign country. Home country as an importer and foreign country as an exporter trade with each other, at zero cost of transportation.A. Find and graph the equilibrium under free trade. What is the world price and the volume of trade? Also, in the absence of trade, what are the prices that would prevail in home country for corn and in foreign country for wheat?.(Pt = Pt* = Pw -> Pw; world prices) B.
