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 Financial Subsidiary 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 Borrowed Funds Than Would Be The Case If Ford Consisted
Solely Of The Manufacturing Company.
