Exclusive_ Indian car makers propose tax cut on imports in trade deal with Britain _ Reuters.pdf Actions Here’s the direct Reuters (R) article link if the pdf is partly truncatedLinks to an external site. Please read the article above first. Ignore pages after Page 6, as said article ends there. Based on the article above, please answer the questions below. Whenever you make any claims, they SHOULDN’T be opinions! They should be statements based on the article, or the material you’ve learnt in this course. Your statements SHOULD be directly from the article, and NOTHING from the Internet or AI! If so, the assignment will be graded at 0 (zero). ANYTIME YOU READ “TAX CUTS ON IMPPRTS”, PLEASE TREAT THEM AS TARIFF REDUCTIONS! We learnt about TARIFFS in Chapter 3 of our textbook. The article claims “Import taxes from 60% to 100% in the world’s fourth-largest car market rank among the highest globally, drawing criticism from companies such as Tesla Inc (TSLA.O)Links to an external site., which shelved entry plansLinks to an external site. because of the high tariffs.” Why is it that the Indian government has allowed so far 60% – 100% tariffs on imported cars? Your answer needs to be found in the article OR in the chapter that you studies (3). NOT in Internet desktop research! (50-75 words, 8 pts). Why are Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Mahindra resisting this change? Again, use the article and what you have learnt in class. NO desktop research. (50 words max, 4 pts). All else equal, would the WTO – a priori – be pleased about this potential development? Meaning a possible reduction of Import Taxes or Tariffs. If yes why? If no why? (50 words max, use your arguments based on the textbook material, 3 pts) Say you’re a resident of India, and you were planning to buy a Range Rover made in the UK. All else equal, and given this article, and given you have the money available to buy the car – would you, a priori, buy the car or postpone your purchase? If yes why? If no why? (50 words max, use your arguments based on the textbook material, 5 pts) Good luck!

A yoga instructor, licensed through a respected program that meets the highest standards as defined by the profession, established her own studio in a building that abuts a large park. She became so popular that a waiting list to attend her class has grown. A potential student, who could not get into the instructor’s class, regularly watched the instructor’s lessons from behind a tree in the park adjacent to the studio, mimicking the instructor’s movements. The instructor knew of the potential student’s activity, and was annoyed that he was taking advantage of her classes without paying for them. During one morning class, she explained the situation to her paying students and warned them that she planned to perform silly poses directly contrary to yoga principles in hopes that the potential student would stop watching her class. She warned all of her clients not to mimic her poses. The potential student copied the instructor’s fake poses and sustained a serious back injury. He sued the instructor for negligence. Would the instructor be liable for the potential student’s injury?

A skier was skiing down a mountain at a ski resort. As she turned a corner, she noticed an injured snowboarder lying unconscious and half- covered with snow at the edge of a difficult trail. Due to her reasonable speed, she was able to approach the snowboarder and stop without hitting him. She saw that he appeared to have suffered a compound fracture in his leg. The skier also recognized that the snowboarder was in grave peril, but because she had no cell phone and did not know how to administer first aid, she simply continued to ski down the mountain. Less than an hour later, another skier came down the trail. Because he was skiing at an unsafe speed, he was unable to stop and struck the snowboarder. The injured snowboarder suffered a concussion from the crash. It was later established that the snowboarder broke his own leg when he recklessly tried to do a flip on the difficult trail. If the snowboarder sues the first skier to recover damages for his concussion, what is the skier’s best defense?
