These expenses indicate that JJJ had obtained a large financial loan which the organization pays within the next two years. Likewise, efforts to regain their market share contributed to the large budget for advertisements.Given that there are no significant prospects for growth for the organization, and due to the declining market share; in conjunction with increasing interest rates, it is hereby recommended that Riordan Manufacturing should not go through with the planned acquisition of JJJ.
