| Abstract | PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The increasing government regulation of automative transportation industries in the United States has produced the need for financial and economic studies of the effects of such policies. The purpose of this document is to survey the effects of pending regulation upon the corporate financial systems of the domestic motor vehicle manufacturers. In many respects, this study, or at least the methods applied in it relates new analysis to the regulatory process, and borrows from other analyses performed previously. Because of the complex nature of corporate finances and the vast array of data available on topics considered in this document, it is important to emphsize the survey nature of much of this study. Undoubtedly, certain specific topics do not receive enough attention, and some vital areas are no-t entirely considered. For these reasons, it is important to note the primary goals of this study: 1. To establish the actual financial environment in which government regulatory spending takes place, and to define some of the major limits upon this system in order to help assess the capabilities for future corporate spending programs, 2. To illustrate that regulatory costing must be performed, at least on one level, within this corporate context if it is to more fully measure costs and financial pressures which are likely to arise in the future, 3. To survey briefly the financial histories of these corporations, and to measure, in more detail, the corporate effects and financial risks produced in the new regulatory environment, and 4 . To provide a survey of some of the most important corporate-related costs of regulation, and to illustrate that the corporation can only absorb these costs within bounds defined by financial performance and legal or accounting realities. |
