So if people buy an acer laptop, acer makes more profit? Quick math - if a laptop is retailing for 1000 and acer makes it for 500(just a random number), due to the tariffs, acer has to pay 550(10% extra) to bring it to the US and now sells it for 1100 due to 10% hike?

profit before = 1000-500 = 500 profit now = 1100 - 550 = 550

So the company is making more profit from you now? What am I missing?
