Pepsico vs. Coca-Cola Essay
PepsiCo vs. Coca–Cola – A Financial Comparison June 13, 2007 AC550 May 2007 Executive Summary The purpose of this comparative
analysis is to provide a summary of financial and accounting information to a potential investor who is looking to invest in either Coca–Cola or
PepsiCo. This research will cover some facts from the financial statements of both companies for the year of 2004. There are many factors to
review when comparing these two companies. They are two of the top manufacturers of CSDs (carbonated soft drinks) in the world. Coke's
portfolio is weighted more heavily in the soft drink beverage industry, whereas PepsiCo has tried to diversify itself by merging with companies
such as Quaker, Tropicana, and Gatorade....show more content...
The comparability of the inventories could be complicated by the fact that PepsiCo is using a combination of both LIFO and FIFO method.

provide detailed explanations to the items presented in the financial statements. It appears that PepsiCo had not reported any major accounting
policies changes for the year of 2004. Coca–Cola refers to the changes adopted in 2002 for SFAS No.142 which "required an initial impairment
assessment involving a comparison of the fair value of goodwill, trademarks and other intangibles assets to current carrying value." (willey.com
/college/kieso). This change makes it difficult to compare historical data from the company's financial statements. However, since PepsiCo had
adopted the same requirement back in 2002, the data related to these assets is comparable between the companies. The main change that occurred
in 2004 at Coca–Cola is the change due to application of FASB "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", Interpretation No.46 (FIN 46). This
resulted in change of the equity method of accounting for certain entities, primarily bottlers. The change caused consolidation of $383 in assets and
