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.
