Business planning expansion persists into 1976
The Commerce Department reports for 1976 show businesses expect to spend about 119.0 billion on plant and equipment, up from last year but hampered by a 10 percent rise in capital goods prices. Resulting volume in machinery purchases may drop about 4 percent due to inflation, affecting unemployment recovery prospects. Also noted: Ford price increases for 1976 models aim to restore profits amid rebounding sales, while consumer borrowing slowed in November with a 1.4 percent year over year rise.
