based on all accounting data collected from companies for making an internal decision and
manage all expenses and sales. Coca-cola uses cashbook ledger having two sections; one
section is used to save all records of disbursements and payments and the second section is
utilized to record all cash information and receipts. All record must be kept on a daily basis.
Coca-cola Cost Accounting Approach: Costing system of products presents that all costs are
related to departments or processes and costs assign to products according to the utilization
of process. In short, the company considers each product cost depend on activities which
include in the production process. Main three activities are shown the production process
features like concentrate and syrup blending, packaging and manufacturing. So it is clearly
showed that company uses activity-based costing. The company also makes a budget of its
costs according to activities related to process. In simple, higher activities will be the result
of the higher budget of coca cola production. Coca-cola Capital Decision-making Process:
The capital decision is very compulsory because as we consider all brands, a large number of
investment involve which make this decision riskier. Payback period is very important to
calculate because of investment returns. With this, internal rate of return and net present
value also determine in case of investment decision process to clearly show the actual
return on investments and also verify how much investment needs to get expected results.
After budgeting and costing method, coca cola use WACC weighted average cost of capital
to run the process of capital decision. In such type of capital decisions, according to the cost
of capital of every related activity and related capital are weighted as per requirement for
the intention of investment. In this regard, company checks all outcomes and sources of
capital that may cause to increase investment if for equity, beta and return rate both
increased. Coca-cola Capital Acquisition and Structure: For capital acquisition and structure,
coca cola uses equity-based capital. This type of capital acquires through available in the
market for investing a point of view and then investment interest in the form of dividend
payments to investors. In other words, it's a shareholder bases structure where that
shareholder becomes chairman who has the highest investment in the company. Decision-
making criteria for acquiring a new investment in coca cola: Two main points we have to
consider or analyze whether or not we have to take the decision on investment in the
company: Expected returns: because of higher return on any investment, the chances of
adopting that investment becomes higher. As we know the criteria that only those
investments selected which provide positive results of returning in future. Impact on brand
image: coca cola is very much concerned about its brand image and always make decisions
for selecting any investment who reflect no nay negative impact on its brand image. That's
why the company didn't rely on government systems because of corrupt reputation. Zero-
base Budgeting: In last few years, the demand for the company going to decrease because
customers are going to be more concern about their health issues. So in this regard, the
company cut down their expenses and cut down jobs to maintain their position in the
markets. In this regard, the company uses zeros base budgeting. Zero based budgeting
shows that review of expenses, again and again, happens because no any extra expense
takes spending further. At the end of each financial quarter, expenses should be equals to
income that means utilize where actually we need, like rent, supplies, and funds for
emergency or retirement savings. It is also very popular cost-cutting measure from last
many years. Because many companies going to use this method and save their extra
expenses. Coca-cola uses this technique to save its money through cutting thousand of extra
jobs, selling corporate jets, removing inefficient factories and even appoint worker and
before making copies that have to take permission. Zero-base budgeting really focuses on
reviewing your expenses so you can check where your money is gone or spend, and budget
items can be managed properly. Always focus the spending of every amount and its basic
utilization for the benefit of the company. Coca-cola Sale Growth: The sale growth is going
to increase. It is only because of reducing any type of extra costs from budgeting. In this
case, the company can produce more units for sale, which automatically increase the profit
of the company. Its current growth rate in the economy in more than 35% which shows that
coca cola is competitive with the demand of markets. Coca-cola Competitors: Coca-cola is
not a single company who takes the market and also full fill customers need. Also, many
companies are here which is doing the same job like PepsiCo and Cadbury Schweppes. But

share while PepsiCo take 31.2% and Cadbury covers 17.6% in the market. All debts or
liabilities are paid against the interest of 4%. Participants in Budgeting: Normally,
management and workers of the company together decide the budget as comparing the
actual results with standard budget and with the previous budget, but in coca cola, with all
this, customer's demand play a very important role in making a budget. Customer demand
and requirement making the high budget as well as low. So likeness and dislikes of users of
coca cola is a main point while making a budget for future. Conclusion: Coca-cola is well
reputed and largest company in the world. People like all brands of this company. They use
