...Financial Analysis of Coca Cola versus PepsiCo, Inc. Axia College of University of Phoenix Financial Analysis of Coca Cola versus PepsiCo, Inc. There are two major competing companies that manufacture beverages. They compete for the number one manufacturer and distributor spot for beverages worldwide. Both companies are immediately identifiable almost anywhere. They are PepsiCo and Coca-Cola. They have so thoroughly saturated the markets around the world that they enjoy universal recognition for their company and for their products. Historically, these are the major competitors in the “Cola wars”. They both produce flavored water, regular water, and soft soda drinks. Coca-Cola (Coke) and PepsiCo, Inc. (Pepsi) target all income brackets across the globe due to their ability to produce products which they have convinced millions of people are attractive and reasonably priced. This makes people buy them regardless of their income level. We will review these companies’ income statements and balance sheets to reveal the financial condition of the companies in relation to one another. After an introductory discussion of the companies, we will perform vertical and horizontal analyses from their annual report financial data and then will provide recommendations on each company. There are a wide variety of distributors in these markets, but Coke and Pepsi have stayed number one and two for decades. They have reached far beyond their...

...On day one, I was assigned to the Republican party and my constituents were rural and blue collared workers. Right after I was assigned, I became the speaker of the House. I had the job to assign everyone in the Republican party to a committee. I listened to what other congress members felt about which committee they feel comfortable with and then assigned them to that committee. The three committees that we had were the Ways and Means committee, the Appropriations Committee, and the Armed Services committee. I put myself in the Ways and Means committee. After everyone got in their committees, each committee got proposed two bills. My committee got proposed a tax bill and a healthcare bill. As I perused through the bills, I was thinking about how this would benefit my constituents; would they be happy if I voted for this bill? That is what I asked myself. The tax bill was a bill created to benefit the upper class and the healthcare bill was to allow everyone if the United States to have Medicare. In the committee, we debated about the two bills. There were 6 Republicans and three Democrats. I listened to the Democrats about what they felt about these bills. They were against the tax bill but for the healthcare bill. After debating the tax bill, we ended up with no amendments. We passed the bill through the committee. Then we talked about the healthcare bill. Both parties agreed that we needed universal healthcare, but I saw parts of the bill that I did not like and did...

...Project Management Concepts and Applications Paper Business Management Research Associates (BMRA) teaches Defense Acquisition University (DAU) and Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) certified courses and elective courses to various agencies worldwide. While BMRA is quite a small company, there is always a need for project management. I have not always been able to lead the projects; I have been a part of the project team to get the work completed, more like an assistant to the project manager. A project that falls under this scope is the one involving the DAU/FAI certification of course materials. The DAU/FAI certified courses offered by BMRA are set to expire this year on September 30, 2015. From October 1, 2015 forward, the expired courses are not valid for credit for students. DAU replaced the expired courses with new ones. The project’s primary goal is completing the certification process for all the required courses before the September 30, 2015 deadline both within time and budget for the company. The DAU/FAI certified courses are BMRA’s primary source of revenue, therefore making this project of the utmost importance. The courses affecting BMRA are listed in the chart below. Previous Course (Expired) Replacement Course (New) CON 215: Intermediate Contracting for Mission Support CON 280: Source Selection and Administration of Contracts CON 217: Cost Analysis and Negotiation Techniques CON 270: Intermediation Cost and Price Analysis CON 218: Advanced Contracting...

...Manufacturing Analysis Paper Peter Stifner ACC 561 February 1, 2016 Some Doofus Professor Manufacturing Analysis Paper A regulatory analysis for the Ideal Manufacturing Company revealed several issues with the company. While the Research and Development portion of the company has been successful, the prestige is bought with significant costs which the company hopes to offset with outside business. The issue at hand is to decide if Ideal should proceed with outside Research and Development for other enterprises to help offset the cost or find other avenues to pursue. Activity-Based Overhead Costs and Drivers Ideal Manufacturing activity-based uses in each activity cost item some amount of overhead. The four activity items exist which are revealed by the company. Prototype testing, product design, product development and market analysis are each of the activities which the company engaged. The annual cost of each are; $1,400,000 used in prototype testing, product design is $2,350,000, $3,600,000 used in product development, and market analysis is $1,050,000. (Kimmel, 2011) Each activity also has drivers which are prototype testing estimated 500 tests, product design estimated 2,500 designs, product development estimated 90 products, and market analysis estimated 15,000 hours. To determine an activity-based overhead rate for each activity a calculation such as the following in which the products configure activity cost estimated overhead divided by the cost drivers which...

...Good Student Dr. Grogan Literary Methodology 17 February 2012 Mistaking Awkwardness for Arrogance: A Reexamination of Gabriel in James Joyce’s “The Dead” A figure as complex and multifaceted as the rich narrative from which he is taken, Gabriel Conroy has long interested readers seeking meaning in James Joyce’s “The Dead.” Initially regarded as “a painfully ordinary man” by Melissa Free, subsequent critics have more harshly accused Gabriel of arrogance and classism, based on his “Three Encounters” with the characters Lily, Molly Ivors, and Gretta (280, 283). However, though many sound arguments can be made in support of Gabriel’s arrogance, one might see this position as a failure to recognize two important factors: First, the nervous insecurity with which he often conducts himself, and second, the disparity between his inner thoughts and outer actions. Indeed, an ethical examination of the story’s “Three Encounters” reveals a highly self-conscious, socially clumsy Gabriel, whose sometimes-condescending thoughts rarely manifest in intentionally hostile behavior. One can first see this display of self-consciousness when examining Gabriel’s discourse with the character Lily, the first in the series of encounters by which he is often judged. For those critics who interpret Gabriel negatively, this might seem a reasonable place to start, for his amusement with the girl’s low accent – “[smiling] at the three syllables she had given his surname,” – is a clear indication that Gabriel...
