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.
