Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The reason was that the Japanese government has a free trade agreement with the United States and what happened was that the Yen appreciated against Dollars by which the Japanese companies might had suffered as the american products would have been imported more to the country because now they are cheaper than the Japanese cars, as a result the industry in the Japan would had suffered. So the government of japan set 115 Yen as apposed to 85 Yen against each dollars which resulted in increase in the demand of the manufacturing of the cars. Now the Japanese products were greater in demand because of they cost less. And at the year end 2015, the Sabaru reported $2 billion profit despite the fact that 80% of its production was in Japan. The american auto suffered loss of market by $2 Billion.
