F4. Sonic Corporation imports materials from a Nigerian supplier. Assume that it is 2020 and Sonic Corporation is worried that the Nigerian supplier may enter into a long-term contract with Chinese customer to sell all of their output to the Chinese customers, hence cutting off Sonic Corporation's supply. In the event of such a contract with the Chinese customers, Sonic Corporation will face much higher costs for its raw materials causing its operating profits to decline substantially and its marginal tax rate to fall from its current level of 25% down to 10%. An insurance firm has agreed to write a trade insurance policy that will pay Sonic Corporation $3,700,000 in the event of the Nigerian supply of materials being cut off.

QUESTION 1: Which groups benefited most from China imposing an export quota on rare earth metals? Did it give the Chinese domestic manufacturers a significant cost advantage? Did it result in dramatically increased quality and environmental standards? QUESTION 2: Given that 97 percent of rare earth metal production is now done in China, an increase from 27 percent to 97 percent between 1990 and 2010, do you think countries such as Australia, Canada, and the United States should reconsider their environmental restrictions on the production of such metals? QUESTION 3: The restrictions imposed by China on rare earth metals has resulted in some companies (e.g. Toyota, Renault, Tesla) starting to look for alternatives. They plan to use parts that do not include rare earth metals. Is this a good solution?
