e e e e e e e e e e e e e
$304,269 million. What is the amount of Ford’s equity and what percentage of financing is

d. $ 11,651 million, 3.7%
e e e
Answer: d e
($ millions)
e e
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
$315,920 $304,269 $11,651
Ford receives more of its financing from nonowners ($304,269 million) versus owners ($11,651
e e e e e e e e e e e e
million). Its owner financing comprises 3.7% of its total financing ($11,651 million/ $315,920
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
million). The relatively low level of equity capital is primarily the result of the fact that Ford is
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
actually a blend of two companies: the automotive manufacturing company and the financial
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
subsidiary. The financial subsidiary has a balance sheet similar to that of a bank, that is, relatively
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
little equity capital. The blend of these two operating entities results in a balance sheet that is
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
more dependent on borrowed funds than would be the case if Ford consisted solely of the
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
manufacturing company.
