Gross Profit Margin:
Gross Profit Margin:=

=
$28,964
$48,017
= 0.60x100 = 60.32%
Years 2011 2012
Gross Profit Margin % 60.90 60.32
The ratio should be high according to the definition. Because higher the ratio,
higher will be the firm’s ability to produce goods and services at low cost with
high sales. Here in this table there is small difference between the ratios in two
years, but its still high, which means it is favorable.

$48,017
= 0.245x100=24.59%
Years 2011 2012
Net Profit Margin % 21.80 24.59
Coca-Cola’s operating profit margin has increased in 2012 than the margin in
2011 by approximately 3%. This increase in Operating Profit Marin is mainly due
to growth of net revenue, good cost control and strong productivity in company in
2012. This higher margin reflects that the Coca-Cola is more efficient cost
management or the more profitable business.

13. Return on Capital Employed:

$33,168
= 0.356x100=35.6%
Years 2011 2012
ROCE % 35.9 35.6
The decrease in Return on Assets indicates that the company is generating
less profits from all of its resources in the year 2012 as compared to the year
2011. The higher of this ratio is, the better for the company. Therefore this
decrease in Coca-Cola’s ratio is indicating that the company is not that much
prospering.

In 2011, the firm’s ability to cover its current liabilities with its current assets
was 1.05. In 2012, the ratio goes up to 1.09 as compared to 2011, which means
that the company has the ability to pay its liabilities, as the definition says that
higher the ratio, greater the ability of the firm to pay its bills. This tells that
Coca-Cola is improving their liquidity and efficiency, because their current ratio
is improving.

Quick Ratio:

Quick Ratio 0.92 0.97
According to the definition of Acid Test Ratio, the company should have the ability
to pay its liabilities through its most liquid assets. The table shows that in 2011, the
firm has the ratio 0.92 cents. Then we observe a slight improvement in 2012. So we
can figure out from the ratios that Coca-Cola still cannot pay its debts without its
inventory. This leads us to believe that Coca-Cola is a somewhat risky business,
even though it is the largest in the nonalcoholic beverage industry.

Debt to

The ratio shows the company’s ability to cover its debts to equity through its
long term debts and equity. The ratio was 0.299 in 2011, then goes up in 2012.
The ratio has to be low. So we can interpret that in the year 2012, the risk of
the firm is getting higher as the ratio goes up.

The ability of the firm of collecting the receivables in the specific time. Here
in the year 2011 the turnover in days was almost 38, but the collection days
decrease in the year 2012 and the collection period of approximately 36 days
is well within the 60 days allowed in the credit terms. This shows that the
collection is faster as compared to the previous year.

Coca-Cola’s average period for payment has reduce to 170 days in 2012 which
was 178 days in 2011. This reduction in average payment period shows that
how efficiently company is paying back their creditors and also assuring that
payments are being made in a prompt manner by Coke to its creditors. This
period should remain low as much as possible.

Inventory Turnover 5.73 5.99
The Coca-Cola’s Inventory turnover ratios deteriorated from 2011 to 2012,
which means that its ability to sell inventory has relatively come down. In 2012
Coca-Cola had a ratio of 5.99 and in 2011 has a ratio of 5.73
In days
365/ inventory turnover = 365/5.99= 60.9=61 days

22. Conclusion
After applying all the ratios we got an idea that
the Coca Cola Company is a profitable firm.
Because through out the analysis of two years, we
found that the company is getting profitable
return on short term and long term investment,
their profit margin has been increased as well
and they are in the position to pay their debts
with in their resources.
