Abstract
La presente investigación aborda los resultados financieros del año 2017 de 2.622 empresas de una ciudad capital de América Latina con los que se calculan los indicadores financieros de Estructura de capital y Margen de utilidad neta. Se plantea como objetivo central determinar si existe o no una relación directa y significativa entre los indicadores financieros mencionados a través del cálculo del coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. Se aplica una metodología cuantitativa, de tipo explicativa, que procura identificar patrones en los resultados financieros analizados que den luz de la existencia de una estructura de capital general óptima (relación entre el pasivo y el patrimonio). Como conclusión general se obtiene que, con los datos analizados, no se evidencia que exista una relación directa y significativa entre los indicadores trabajados. Queda como futuros temas de investigación realizar el mismo proceso, pero por sectores económicos y/o por tamaño de empresa. || This research approach the financial results of the year 2017 of 2,622 companies of a capital city from Latin America with these the financial indicators of Capital structure and Net profit margin are calculated. The main objective is to determine whether there is a direct and significant relationship between the aforementioned financial indicators through the calculation of the Pearson correlation coefficient. A quantitative methodology is applied, of explanatory type, which seeks to identify patterns in the analyzed financial results that give light of the existence of an optimal general capital structure (relationship between the liability and equity). As a general conclusion, it is obtained that, with the data analyzed, there is no evidence that there is a direct and significant relationship between the indicators worked on. It remains as future research topics to carry out the same process, but by economic sectors and / or by company size.
