1.1 General Introduction:
3
This report is connected with our class: Economic Analysis. We were
learning some knowledge about how to analysis the company’s economic
situation. And we used our knowledge which we have learned during our
lecturer to analysis two companies(They are competitors).What’s more, we
use the company’s income statement, balance sheet, liabilities to calculate
Structural analysis, Income Statement analysis, Profitability analysis, Liquidity
analysis, Activity analysis. we made many conclusions about those two
companies. Through those conclusions, we know about the economic situation
of those companies.

In 2006 the main source of financing the company was equity(The
share of equity in total capital was 51.61%,and the share of current
liabilities in total capital was 22.92%).

total capital decreased to the level of 34.02%,and the share of long
term in total capital increased to the level of 41.57%.
Comparing the last year to the first year of analyses---the share of
equity in total capital decreased by 18 percentage points ,and the
share of long term in total capital increased by 16 percentage points.
Because the value of credits were increased much faster than value of
equity.
The structure of total liabilities is the optimal structure from the point
13
of view of risk and profit.

Interpretation: Pepsico:
ROE=38.96% which means that each 100 dollar of equity generated
38.96 dollar of net profit. So this is profitability of our own
capital(equity).
ROA=18.85% which means that each 100 dollar of total assets
generated 18.85 dollar of net profits. So this ratio is telling about the
ability of total assets to generate the profits.
ROS=18.50% which means that from each 100 dollar of operational
revenues the company received 18.50 dollar of operational profits. So
this ratio is telling about the profitability of the production(operational
part of the company)
ROS2=19.89% which means that from each 100 dollar of total
revenues the company received 19.89 dollar of gross profits. So this
ratio is telling about the profitability of operational and financial
activities of the company.
ROS2 is bigger than ROS by 1.39 percentage point because the
financial revenuse is bigger financial expenses. So the financial
activites increased the profitability of the company.
ROS3=3.83% which means that from each 100 dollar of total
17
revenues the company received 3.83 dollar of net profits. The
difference between ROS3 is the taxes the company has to pay.
ROS decreases from 18.50% to 16.03% because:
a) the operating expenses are
increasing
faster than other operating
income.
b)cost of sales increased fast as
the cost
c)net revenues were increasing not of products were
increasing
ROS2 decreases from 19.89% to 16.21% because: a) The interest income
decreased about 4 times-from 173 thousands of dollar to the leavel of 41
thousands of dollar. Interest expense it is the interest rate which they
need to pay from taken bank credits.
ROE decreased from 38.96% to 21.65% because net profits decreased and
the equity increased (formula for ROE=net profits/equity). Why the net
profits decreased = the answer is in the conclusions number 7 and 8 in
this analysis.
ROA decreased from 18.85% to 14.29% because total assets increased
and net profits decreased (formula for ROA=net profits/total assets). Why
the net profits decreased = the answer is in the conclusions number 7 and
8 in this analysis.

Interpretation: Coca-Cola:
ROE=30.2% which means that each 100Dollars of equity generated
18
30.2 Dollars of net profit .So this is profitability of our own capital.
ROA=16.95% which means that each 100Dollars of total assets
generated 16.95 Dollars of net profit .So this ratio is telling about.the
ability of total assets to generate the profits.
ROS1=26.19% which means that each 100Dollars of operational
revenues the company received 26.19 Dollars of optional profits.So
this ratio is telling about.the profiability of the production.
ROS2=70.00% which means that each 100Dollars of total revenues
the company received 70 Dollars of gross profits.So this ratio is telling
about.the profiability of operational and financial activities of the
company.
ROS2 is bigger than ROS1 by 43.81 percentage point because the
financial revenues is bigger than financial expenses.So the financial
activities increase d the profitability of the company.

the company received 20.09 Dollars of net profits.The difference
between ROS3 and ROS2 is the taxes the company has to pay.

other operating income are increasing much faster than other
operating expense net revenues were increased by 33%,cost of sales
increase increased almost 2times.
ROS2 decreases from 70% to 68.24% because gross profit increase
less than total revenue

two times bigger than net profit.

Interpretation: Pepsico:
In 2006 the overall liquidity is optimal for all three ratios. So it means
that in 2006 the company had optimal level of all current assets and
short term liabilities.
In 2006 and 2008,the Current ratio ,Quick ratio and Cash ratio are too
big. It means that they have too much current assets liquid current
assets comparing to short term credits.
In the last year of analysis, the overall liquidity of the company
decreased. They did not have enough current assets to cover short
term credits. They also did not have enough cash resources to cover
short term obligations. It is negative and dangerous.
Coca-Cola: In 2006 the overall liquidity is optional for all three ratios.So it means
that that in 2006 the company had optional level of all current assets
and short-term liabilities.
In 2008 quick ratio and cash ratio is optional but current ratio was
little. So it means the company does not have enough resources to
cover short-term liabilities.
Coca-cola’s Current Ratio is below 2for those years but its ratio
increased from 2007 to 2008. They are more able to pay back their
short term debts.
In the last year of analysis, the overall liquidity of the company
increase. Means they not have liquid current assets to cover short-
term credits. They also have cash resources to cover short-term
obligations. It is negative but not dangerous.
