...Financial Management: PepsiCo and Coca-Cola 2009 Annual Reports BUS 500 Instructor: Gary Shelton December 7, 2010 Abstract In this paper I will use the information obtained from the PepsiCo and Coca-Cola 2009 annual reports to determine financial information about these companies. I will answer questions about the companies assets and liabilities, profits, and if they can satisfy stockholders. What conclusions can you make about each company’s ability to pay current liabilities? A company’s liabilities are their legal debts and obligations. Liabilities can come up during the company’s business operations and are settled over time. They are settled through by transferring money, goods or services. A list of a company’s liabilities can be found on the balance sheet for the company. Included in the liabilities are loans, accounts payable, mortgages, deferred revenues, and accrued expenses. A company’s ability to pay its liabilities can be determined by analyzing the amount of assets as opposed to the amount of liabilities. To do this you will need to find the current ratio for the company. The current ratio is used to determine if a company’s short-term or current assets are available to pay off its short-term or current liabilities. The liabilities of PepsiCo can be found on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. PepsiCo’s total current liabilities equal 8.765 million dollars. Its total liabilities equal 22.406 million dollars. Its total current assets...

...Problem Part 2 A balance sheet and income statement is important for creditors, investors and employees to analyze assets versus liabilities. This will allow them the ability to operate efficiently and determine how quickly the company can pay off its debts. To provide a clear picture on how fast a company will be able to come up with cash, a person needs to understand the value of each asset, how the asset is classified, and the order in which they are listed. On the other hand, understanding the impact of each liability and previous to current trending of total liabilities will show if the company is able to control their liabilities or if they are accumulating additional obligations to repay overtime. Below you will see an analysis of the Coca-Cola Company’s assets versus liabilities and it will answer the questions of if and when they have the ability to repay debts. In a balance sheet, a company lists its assets and specifies which assets it is expecting to covert to cash within the next operating cycle. These assets are named “current assets” and should be listed in the order in which they typically can expect to receive cash for them. Coca-Cola’s current assets are listed in the following order in their balance sheet: cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, marketable securities, trade accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, and assets held for sale. The cash and cash equivalents asset is on top of Coca-Cola’s current assets list since it has been...
