For selected company groups hypothesis testing on the dependence of funding sources weight of ROS and the weighted average cost of capital from cost of sales was carried out. The impact of return on sales on capital structure decisions has been partially proven; a strong relationship between the two hypotheses has been found for two groups of companies.
