• 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.
