minus-square@Sludgeyylink1•1 day ago25% tariffs means businesses need to raise prices ~33% to keep same profits If I was selling lemonade for $1 Tariff would be 25 cents Sell $1, pay 25 cents for tariff, make 75 cents per lemonade If I raised my price to $1.33 Tariff would be 33 cents Sell $1.33, pay 33 cents for tariff, make $1 per lemonade A 25% tariff means ~33% higher prices if the company’s can get people to pay it. So should be 33% instead of 10%
