=__**i) Where are the headquaters of Ford Motor Cars?**__= The headquarters of Ford Motor Cars is located in Detroit, USA. It is a TNC (trans-national corporation)



=__**ii) Why is Detroit attractive for large industries?**__= This place is attractive for large industries because since the land is flat it will be significantly easier to build on. The area is also attractive for Ford beacuse it is located next to water, which means that it can either be used as a power source, or as an area where non-toxic or harmful waste can be dumped. Ford motors also picked this area because of its landscape: it was attractive. =__**iii) Why are Ford factories spread out in many different countries?**__= Ford cars are built and assembled in other countries because:
 * the manufacturer's cars can be sold in many different ares of the world,
 * the workers in these other countries work for less money,
 * since the cars are sold in many different countries, having factories there means that less money needs to be wasted on transporting them.
 * the raw materials do not need to be transported very far since the factories are spread out.
