Our sales eventually fell off as all other sales fell off. We had a large inventory and, taking the materials and parts in that inventory at their cost price, we could not turn out a car at a price lower than we were asking, but that was a price which on the turn of business was higher than people could or wanted to pay. We closed down to get our bearings. We were faced with making a cut of $17,000,000 in the inventory or taking a much larger loss than that by not doing business. So there was no choice at all.

白话
福特的销售最终也下滑了。他们库存很大,按成本价算,造出的车价格高于人们愿意或能够支付的水平。于是他们停产整顿。面临的选择是:要么将库存减值1700万美元,要么因不做生意而承受更大损失。所以别无选择。这说明,当库存成本高于市场承受力时,必须果断减值或降价,否则损失更大。停产是为了看清方向,而不是逃避。
