The research was carried out based on the data collected in Economática, deflation adjustments were made and later the main financial indexes and indicators of the company were calculated, with based on its Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow. Horizontal Analysis, Vertical Analysis and the calculation of the indices were used: Liquidity, Profitability, Profitability, Indebtedness; being focused to understand how the Capital Structure affects Business Performance and Value Creation.
