Respuesta :

Answer:

a. $86.40 per necklace

b. $86.40 per necklace

c. $83.20 per necklace

Explanation:

free market price pf necklace is $80.00

Initial tariff on import = 8%

8% of $80.000 = 0.08 x $80.00 = $6.40

Canadians will therefore pay $80.00 + $6.40 = $86.40 per necklace

If tariff is reduced to 4%,

4% of $80.00 = 0.04 x $80.00 = $3.20

new price per necklace = $80.00 + $3.20 = $83.20 per necklace
