The collapse of the housing market and unemployment caused the most damage. Between 1991 to 1992 unemployment had gone back up to 2.6 million. Negative equity meant home owner were paying mortgages far higher than their homes were worth. Many people could simply not keep up with the increased prices and resulted in them losing their homes due to the bank repossessing them. The recession hit close to home for the Tories, effecting the middle class not just the working class of the industrial north.

However, the company was not able to sustain the growth in sales between years 7 and 8, which resulted in a decrease in net sales of -15% or $897,000. The company’s loss in net sales in year 8 is a weakness due to overall sales being down. Cost of goods sold (COGS) between years 6 and 7 show an increase of 31.8% or $1,048M. The increase in COGS corresponds closely with the increase in net sales for the same time period, which illustrates the company’s ability to effectively control its inventory levels and material costs. For years 7 and 8, the cost of goods sold decreased by -14.5% or $630,400, which again corresponds to the change in net sales for the same period.
Sales were up 11 percent from 2009’s second quarter. Third quarter 2009 sales reflect the $276 million impact of a 7 percent decline in tire unit volume due to lower industry demand as well as a $279 million reduction in sales in other tire-related businesses, primarily third-party chemical sales by North American Tire. Unfavorable foreign currency translation further reduced sales by $159 million. Goodyear successfully launched 15 new products in the quarter, in addition to the 42 launched in the first half. The company has exceeded its goal of more than 50 new product launches during 2009.
Revenue fell 4 per cent to $7.9 billion. Qantas' domestic operations reported a 74 per cent fall in pre-tax profit to $57 million, which was blamed on intense competition in the domestic market and growth in capacity. But it was overshadowed again by Qantas' international operations, which slumped to a $262 million loss compared with a $91 million loss previously. This article refers to Qantas cutting down jobs for many workers. This is an internal issue- business management; this affects the business in a negative way.

Running head: The Economy, Monetary Policy, and Monopolies The Economy, Monetary Policy, and Monopolies Shalanda Massenburg Professor Lloyd Amaghionyeodiwe ECO100 December 4, 2012 Analyze the current economic situation in the U.S. as compared to five years ago. Include interest rates, inflation, and unemployment in your analysis. The United States is the most advanced countries in the world. There has been a downfall in the number of houses being sold; interest rates have hit rock bottom, and a record weakening in the federal budget balance. All this is due to the downward fall in the economy.
This did little to help improve the economy but it did lead to the period of recovery in which we are in today. This has been an especially important time for society. Spending and consumerism has increased and the unemployment isn’t what it used to be almost 2 years ago. Although there is speculation as to another recession, there is no need to worry of government spending remains constant and tax cuts are issued. The recession of 2007 and 2009 has affected everyone, but mostly middle class people are the ones who are hit the hardest when it comes to economic troubles.
