Compute the effective rate of protection for widgets prodcut


Compute the effective rate of protection for WIDGETS prodcution utilizing two alternative methods.

Suppose you want to produce WIDGETS in your country. The international price of an imported WIDGET is $50 and pays an import tariff of $10 per unit. Three inputs are needed to produce a WIDGET. Input A is imported and has a tariff of 10%. Input B is produced domestically and does not pay any tariff, while tariff on imported input C is 50%. The input-output coefficient for input A is 0.2 and value added represents 30% of total price of WIDGETS at international prices. Calculate the effective rate of protection for WIDGETS using two alternative methods. (NOTE: Assume the values that you consider necessary in order to answer the question).
