This affects rates on everything from mortgages to car loans. Fiscal policy is set by legislative action or executive order, so the auto industry plays a significant role in the U.S. economy. In October 2021, employment at auto and parts manufacturing and dealerships was more than 6.4 million, the health of the auto industry depends on the health of the economy. Monetary policy sets the tone for the economy so if interest rates are low, cars are more affordable, which usually means more auto jobs which is a good thing but if interest rates are high, dealerships have fewer auto jobs and more unsold cars . This leads to less tax paid by the industry and more unemployment insurance payouts, both of which affect fiscal policy.
1: Tariffs encourage Americans to buy U.S.-made products. (Points: 13) I find this position to be valid. Tariffs are basically taxes on imports, thus making imported goods more expensive to buy (Nickels, McHugh & McHugh, 2008, p. 75). Protective tariffs are designed to raise the retail price of imported products so that domestic goods are more competitively priced (Nickels, McHugh & McHugh, 2008, p. 76). Therefore, if when a consumer enters a store and sees similarly priced products, one imported and one made domestically, they can choose a US made product without feeling as if they are overpaying for the same product.
Conversely, in 2011, Wal-Mart’s liabilities were just $58,603M; the reason this amount is lower is because of the number of assets made. A good way get a grasp of this information is using a personal reference and compare it to borrowing money for the purchase a new vehicle. Making payments for the vehicle on time increases the vehicle’s asset. However, if payments not made on time, the interest increases and the liability on the car increases. This is in direct result of owing more money on the balance of the loan than what the car is worth at the time of purchase.
Ford Motor Company The total amount of cash available for Ford to pay their current debts is 26.75 billion dollars in favor of assets. I derived this from Ford’s Assets $202.03 billion and subtracted their liabilities, which was $175.28 billion. I believe that Ford is in good shape due to the total assets the company has received. 202.03B – 175.28B - $26.75B Ford is increasing its investment in operations every year. In 2011 the cash flow from investing activities was 3.04B in 2011, 14.29B 2012, and in 2013 19.73B.

Most of the Germans would approve the “marriage” between two national ventures each one symbolizing prosperity and accomplishments. The big looser in this case are the hedge funds that could not cover their obligations due to the limited supply of shares on the market. With TCI and 3G we have a different situation. Here we have activist hedge funds aggressively reaching for control takeover. The companies are similar in their bold tactics in international grounds- sometimes successful as in the case with Deutsche Börse, but sometimes resulting in expensive outcomes as with Japanese JPower.
