Dear Professor,

We have chosen a hypothesis that we would like to research. However, before moving forward, we would like your input.

We hypothesize that high interest rates negatively effect the financial performance of the auto industry.

In order to prove or disprove this hypothesis we will look at financial indicators of specific automakers compared to various time periods. Some of the financial indicators we will consider include: sales, earnings per share, net income, and stock price. The time periods we will consider will include: periods of high, medium, and low interest rates.

We hope this study meets your expectations, but if not, your thoughtful guidance is appreciated.

Thank you,
Group 2
