¶ … Mall's Revenues
Identify what seem to be the important trends in TechMall's financial statements. Are these trends consistent with TechMall's strategy and the economics of a growing company?
The trends that seem to be occurring are that Tech Mall is seeing slower levels of growth. This is taking place with less merchants signing up for the service (which is resulting in lower revenues for this segment). Evidence of this can be seen by looking at the below table which is showing the total number of merchants in comparison with revenues from the setup fee. (Swain, 2012)

Prepare a diagram for the next executive meeting that illustrates what factors determine or drive TechMall's revenue. Use the monthly revenue data and performance metrics in Exhibit 5 to assess important trends in these revenue drivers. What does or should TechMall do to manage these drivers. For example, the number of merchants set up each month, combined with the average setup fee, drives TechMall's setup fee revenue each month. What then can TechMall realistically do to effectively manage these two revenue drivers (i.e., the volume of merchant setups or the size of the setup fee)?
There are three factors that drive Tech Mall's revenues these include: set up, statement and transaction fees.…
