Southern Supply Inc. The Purchasing Policy Guidelines of the Southern Supply Inc. indicate that the company is committed to procuring its goods, products, and services from a diversified pool of vendors, contractors, and service providers. Despite these guidelines, Southern’s purchasing manager prefers to maintain a small cadre of suppliers that he knows and trusts.
How would you expect this situation to affect the assessment of Southern’s financial condition and performance?
a. Although nonquantitative factors may be relevant to a company’s financial evaluation in general terms, the details of this specific situation are not relevant to the firm’s financial condition or performance.

c. The purchasing manager’s behavior should be expected to increase Southern’s riskiness by increasing its exposure to potential supply shortages or mistimed deliveries.
