ANSWER:

D ($
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
MILLIONS
$315,920 $304,269 $11,651

)



FORD RECEIVES MORE OF ITS FINANCING FROM NONOWNERS ($304,269 MILLION)
VERSUS OWNERS ($11,651 MILLION). ITS OWNER FINANCING COMPRISES 3.7% OF ITS
TOTAL FINANCING ($11,651 MILLION/ $315,920 MILLION). THE RELATIVELY LOW LEVEL OF
EQUITY CAPITAL IS PRIMARILY THE RESULT OF THE FACT THAT FORD IS ACTUALLY A
BLEND OF TWO COMPANIES: THE AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND THE
FINANCIAL SUBSIDIARY. THE FINANCIALSUBSIDIARY HAS A BALANCE SHEET SIMILAR TO
THAT OF A BANK, THAT IS, RELATIVELY LITTLE EQUITY CAPITAL. THE BLEND OF THESE
TWO OPERATING ENTITIES RESULTS IN A BALANCE SHEET THAT IS MORE DEPENDENT
ON BORROWEDFUNDS THAN WOULD BE THE CASE IF FORD CONSISTED SOLELY OF THE
MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
