Debt Ratio is a financial ratio that indicates the percentage of a company 's assets that are provided via debt. It is the ratio of total debt (the sum of current liabilities and long-term liabilities) and total assets (the sum of current assets, fixed assets, and other assets such as 'goodwill ').
The higher the ratio, the greater risk will be associated with the firm 's operation. In addition, high debt to assets ratio may indicate low borrowing capacity of a firm, which in turn will lower the firm 's financial flexibility.
Debt Ratio of both Pepsi.Co and Coca-cola.Co is increased slightly from 2010 to 2011. The ratio is greater than 0.5, two companies ' assets are financed through debt, but
The current cash debt ratio only measures the ability of a firm 's cash, along with investments easily converted into cash, to pay its short-term obligations.

“I cuddle up close to keep him warm and read the adventures of motel by Sholem Aleichem.” (page 81) This is an example of an allusion because the quote was alluding to the book, “Adventures of Motel”. The book was about a jewish family going through struggles like the book, “The Cage” and that's why the author chose that book. Second allusion I found was the quote, “Will we, too, have a Moses to lead us to freedom, as our forefathers did?” (page 109-110) This quote was alluding to there religion where Moses lead his people to safety and she needs someone to lead her people (the jewish people) to safety.
Therefore, Coca-Cola is delivering a higher value to shareholders than Pepsi Co. Pepsi-Co’s ensures partnerships and acquisitions add significantly to the shareholder value.
When comparing the debt-to-assets ratio of McDonalds and Wendys, you have to divide the firms total liabilities by their total assets. Essentially, the debt-to-assets ratio is the primary indicator of the firms debt management. As the ratio increases or decreases, it indicates the firms changing reliance on borrowed resources. The lower the ratio the more efficient the firm will be able to
With the world's largest volunteer fighting force in its service, America has long been a nation that kneels in bowed reverence to the service of our military men and women. National monuments stand as enduring testaments to the sacrifices made by ordinary citizens when political action dictates that war must be waged, and holidays commemorate the fallen who laid their lives down in defense of their homeland. Nonetheless, the storm clouds of crisis have begun to gather as the nation winds down its operations in two disparate fields of battle, with a decade of continuous warfare finally ending in Iraq and de-escalation occurring rapidly in Afghanistan. The devastating effects of a prolonged economic recession have crippled many segments of the federal government, but the crucial programs and departments associated with providing healthcare services to active military members and veterans have become severely overburdened by the extraordinary influx of soldiers returning from the Middle East as casualties of war. From amputees coping with the loss of one or more limb after an improvised explosive device attack, to veterans of so-called "stop-loss" deployment schedules who suffer from the invisible wounds of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the thousands of soldiers with injuries and illnesses attributed to their service, America has positioned itself precariously on the precipice of domestic disaster the likes of which have
The Debt to Equity Ratio measures a company’s financial leverage, how much debt a company is using to finance its assets represented in shareholders’ equity. This ratio is important to a potential creditor because it shows the percentage of company financing that comes from creditors and investors.

The United States needs criminal justice reform. Criminal justice reform is a type of reform that is aimed at fixing errors in the criminal justice system. Some of the goals of criminal justice reform is trying to decrease the United States’ prison population, reducing sentences for low level crimes, eliminating mandatory minimum sentences for low –level drug offenders, and end harsh policies and racial inequalities in the justice system.
Although PepsiCo’s current assets grew their current liabilities also grew, which leads me to believe that Coca-Cola is more poised to grow as a company in the future. I believe there is room for both of these companies to fix their financial status in these areas. PepsiCo needs to find a way to increase their current assets without raising their current liabilities and Coca-Cola need to find a way to increase their current assets while maintaining their steady drop in current liabilities.
PepsiCo and Coca-Cola are fierce competitors and according to their financial statements they are both healthy companies. Therefore I would invest in Coca-Cola if I had to make the decision because it has higher income, a stronger long-term debt to networking capital ratio, steadily rising net income per common share, and a climbing and high solvency ratio. PepsiCo still shows healthy growth and outperforms Coca-Cola in many areas. I will conduct a financial analysis of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo to identify their strengths and weaknesses, ultimately deciding which one is worth the investment.
This is a financial comparison between Pepsi and Coca Cola in terms of company liquidity, solvency, asset management, profitability, and valuation between the years 2008 and 2009 respectively.
Debt ratio helps in comparing total assets and total liabilities. If you have more liabilities it means you have lesser equity and therefore an increased leverage position.
As mention before, Coca-cola has 47.3 percent market share in the country’s cola market versus Pepsi which hold 44.5 percent. Coca-cola is also the brand known around the worlds, which are the largest producer and distributor of ark colas in the world. Even in the current monetary crisis, the company continues to expand and the financial position shows that Coca-cola has a strong cash position in compare to PepsiCo which the long term debt of PepsiCo is so high.
Since there are a wide range of products available, the pricing for both Coca Cola and Pepsi is done according to the Market demands and the geographic segment and thus both the products pricing are set around the same level. Neither of the brands can win if they enter into a price war, simply because the cost of manufacturing and transportation is huge. The advantage to either of the companies was if they enter into a brand war. Since, Coca Cola always had competitors constantly driving them to be smarter, better and faster and since they were successfully been existing for more than a century, they have had to remain consistent with their pricing strategy. Throughout the years, Coca Cola has made many pricing decisions, but eventually the ultimate goal is to maximize the shareholder value. Coca Cola uses lower price point to penetrate new markets to face competition and also to raise brand awareness. This strategy is strongly implemented till it repositions itself as the Premium beverage as compared to its competitors.
