Explanation / Answer

Solution:

LIQUIDITY RATIO:

(1) Current ratio = current assets/Current liabilities

Coca-Cola = 17551/13721 = 1.28:1

PepsiCo = 12571/8756 = 1.43:1

(2) Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net credit sales/Average Accounts Receivable

Coca-Cola = 30990/3424 = 9.05 times

PepsiCo = 43232/4654 = 9.28 times

(3) Average collection period = 365/Accounts Receivable Turnover

Coca-Cola = 365/9.05 = 40 days

PepsiCo = 365/9.28 = 39 days

(4) Inventory Turnover = COGS/Average inventory

Coca-Cola = 11088/2271 = 4.8 times

PepsiCo = 20099/2570 = 7.8 times

(5) Days in inventory = 365/inventory turnover

Coca-Cola = 365/4.8 = 76 days

PepsiCo = 365/7.8 = 47 days

SOLVENCY RATIO:

(1) Debt to assets ratio = total liabilities/total assets

Coca-Cola = 23872/48671 = 0.4904 or 49.04%

PepsiCo = 23044/39848 = 0.5783 or 57.83%

(2) Times interest earned = EBIT/interest expense

Coca-Cola = (6824+2040+355)/355 = 25.97%

PepsiCo = (5946+2100+397)/397 = 21.26 times

(3) Free cash flow = Net cash provided by operating activities - capital expenditures

Coca-Cola = 8186-1993 = $6,193

PepsiCo = 6796-2128 = $4,668

PROFITABILITY RATIO:

(1) Profit Margin = Net Income/Net sales

Coca-Cola = 6824/30990 = 22.02%

PepsiCo = 5946/43232 = 13.75%

(2) Asset Turnover = Net sales/Average total assets

Coca-Cola = 30990/44595 = 0.69 times

PepsiCo = 43232/37921 = 1.14 times

(3) Return on Assets = Net Income/Total assets

Coca-Cola =6824/48671 = 14.02%

PepsiCo =5946/39848 = 14.92%

(4) Return on common stockholders Equity = Net Income/Average common shareholder's Equity

Coca-Cola = 6824/22636 = 30.14%

PepsiCo = 5946/14556 = 40.85%
