The raw-hide is a sub-product obtained in a residual way from the leather industry. The increase of its international offer driven by countries such as Mexico, Brazil and China, has led to a scenario of high competition pushing the price down in markets such as the US. Consequently, raw-hide products such as the canine chew toys manufactured by PERMEX in Peru have suffered a decrease in their market price. Given this, LENNOX, its only wholesale customer in the US, asked PERMEX to negotiate the CIF price per kg of its raw-hide chips for 2018, seeking a 10% reduction to maintain their commercial relationship. This scenario has forced PERMEX to review its cost structure to determine if it is feasible to reach its target operating while reducing its CIF price by 10%, using its real operating capacity, considering that PERMEX does not have enough liquidity to make investments in fixed assets, infrastructure or machinery in the short term. The way in which this problem have been addressed is through the use of operational-financial leverage that implies an increase in production and the use of its current effective capacity to reduce the unit cost, enabling a reduction in the CIF price; this without requiring an extensive investment, only an increase in working capital in relation to the level of activity. The present investigation seeks to demonstrate, describe and explain the mechanism by which taking advantage of the effect of operating-financial leverage allows marginal profits to be obtained per additional unit of production which will be used to reduce the CIF price while maintaining the operating margin. This will involve analyzing the components of leverage, such as the level of production and sales, and the cost structure of PERMEX, based on its relationship with the CIF price. The present investigation will use the quantitative information present in the accounting and financial records of PERMEX to calculate the dimensions of these variables and analyze in detail their behavior in different scenarios, contrasting it with the theoretical bases and the qualitative information collected in the interview applied to its General Manager and the knowledge acquired in the area of operations, which will enhance the interpretation of the results as they are obtained from the data.
