How much was Japan spending on its military in 1942 compared to the US? And how many ships was each nation building in 1942?

Got involved in a debate over whether the US could have won the war if they'd lost Midway. The person I'm arguing with argued that the superior industrial might of the US wouldn't have mattered because they wouldn't have known it would eventually have the bigger fleet.

I was going to try comparing the Military Budgets of the two nations and the naval production of the two countries, specifically in 1942 to prove that yes the United States did know it would eventually have a bigger navy. But I can't find a clear source on either topic (That separates it by year), so can anyone provide an easy-to-read comparison or a source that would be much appreciated.

And if I'm completely wrong in my assessment of the Pacific War, let me know, thank you.
