You are the manager of a firm that produces and markets a generic type of soft drink in a competitive market. In addition to the large number of generic products in your market, you also compete against major brands such as Coca-cola and Pepsi. Suppose that, due to the successful lobbying efforts of sugar producers in the United States, Congress is going to levy a $0.50 per pound tariff on all imported raw sugar-the primary input for your product.
