Answer:

ABC Company

Financial Analysis:

A. The cost of goods sold has been increasing over the five years.

Explanation:

The gross profit ratio was 58.3% in year 1 and continued a downward spiral to 41.3% in year 5. This depicted an underlying fact that the cost of goods sold had been increasing over the years. The cost of goods sold influences the gross profit, and with the sales value remaining stable over the years, the ability of the company to generate enough profit out of its sales had been impaired greatly. Fortunately, for ABC Company, the increasing cost of goods sold did not increase alongside the fixed costs of running the business. This resulted to an increasing net profit ratio over the same period.

And a company with low operating leverage has low amount of fixed cost relative to variable cost and therefore a relatively high variable costs

Operating leverage is calculated as

If a company is located in south america, what cultural factor would explain the company's choice of a mechanistic structure?

Anika [276]

Based on movies and books I've read, I noticed that the culture in South America is big on familial love. Their family spreads not only immediately, but even to cousins after cousins. You can see them living in family compounds and they greet each other as families.

Therefore, this could be a reason for the company's choice of a mechanistic structure. This structure is about the working together of single parts to create an efficient mechanism. Thus. familial relationship is very important. They have to invest in close family ties through social events.
