SWOT Analysis
The Coca-Cola Company is an almost $2 Billion company that is arguable the world’s largest beverage provider. With presence in over 200 countries Coca-Cola has grown to become a household name since its start in Atlanta, Georgia in 1886. Coca-Cola’s mission “To refresh the world...To inspire moments of optimism and happiness...To create value and make a difference” is achieved in conjunction with its vision that is surrounding six “Ps”. People, Portfolio, Partners, Planet, Profit, and Productivity all working together to be a great place to work, offer drinks consumers want while being conscious of the world and Coca-Cola stakeholders.
In order to be a continually successful company, Coca-Cola understands the need for environmental analysis to include internal and external forces driving the business. Social factors such as the fact that consumers are becoming more health conscious and economic factors such as inflation, recession and unemployment rate should be considered in the environmental scan.
The industry environment should also be considered which includes demographics, competitors, and consumer preferences. Internal and external environments can be evaluated with the help of a SWOT analysis.
The SWOT analysis for The Coca-Cola Company reveals that the major strength of the firm is the brand name and the recognizable aspects of it. A weakness as well as an opportunity is the increased awareness of healthy options even with beverages. Another opportunity is that of additional flavors. A threat, as with all companies, is Coca-Cola’s competitors. Keeping ahead of competitors in terms of technology, flavors, and overall customer service will help alleviate the threat of competing firms.

Case #1
A young girl with difficulties in school
Decision Point One
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, predominantly inattentive presentationsentation
RESULTS OF DECISION POINT ONE
· Client returns to clinic in four weeks
· You selected Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, predominantly inattentive presentation. Based on this choice, outline the remainder of the diagnostic evaluation that you will conduct on this child and their parents. Be sure to include standardized assessment instruments that you would administer
Decision Point Two
Begin Strattera 25mg orally daily
RESULTS OF DECISION POINT TWO
· Client returns to clinic in four weeks
· Katie’s parents seem absolutely delighted upon their return stating that Katie is paying more attention in school, but note that there is still room for improvement
· They are somewhat concerned however about some sedation that she experiences following the medication. They report that Katie has been becoming more uncooperative with medications as she feels ‘sleepy’ after taking them
· Her parents are also concerned about her decrease in appetite since starting the medication
Decision Point Three
Discontinue Strattera and begin Adderall XR 10mg orally daily
Guidance to Student
In response to the first choice, although decreased appetite is a side effect of Strattera, it does not address the parents’ concerns about Katie’s sedation, which can occur with Strattera use. It may help with residual inattention symptoms, however, if the medication is creating such negative side effects, compliance may become an issue.
CBT has some evidence of efficacy in treating ADHD symptoms, however, augmenting the medication is not going to effectively address the concerns that Katie’s parents have raised regarding side effects.
Discontinuing Strattera and beginning Adderall XR would be the most appropriate strategy in this case as changing agents may alleviate the unfavorable side effects, and may treat symptoms more effectively.

The Worldwide Socioeconomic and Political Environment
Understanding the external environment in which a company operates is crucial for any top management. For instance, the global socio economic and political environment presents many challenges and opportunities for many companies (Wetherly, & Otter, 2014). The demographic and culture of the worldwide market varies. For this reason, the importance of determining what to sell, where, how much, and how to market is increasing. For example, the worldwide market is currently more focused on healthy products. Therefore, companies have to respond to these needs in all aspects. In addition, it has also been noted that social responsibility of a company affects the worldwide image of a brand. The global economic challenges might also affect the liquidity and financial performance of companies, for instance, soft drink and beverage manufacturers such as Coca-Cola Co. and Pepsi Co. In addition, the price of imports, exports, and exchange rates might also affect many industries such as soft drink manufacturers (Wetherly, & Otter, 2014). Finally, the economic environment affects how consumers spending powers, thereby, having an impact in many sectors of the economy. It is also important to note that global political environment presents various risk to many companies. For instance, political instabilities in some parts of the globe and changes in established laws and regulations might prevent companies such as Coca Cola and Pepsi from distributing drinks.
The Domestic Environment
The domestic environment in which Coca Cola Co. and operates presents many challenges and opportunities at the same time. For instance, the strong democratic setup in the US and effective rule of law is considered fair and transparent by most companies. However, the US is also under continuous threat because of the interventionist policies regarding war on terror. In addition, the domestic environment of Pepsi and Coca Cola companies has a well-developed economic system that is supported by many service and manufacturing companies. Like some developed countries, the US is faced with the problem of the aging population. This can contribute to major labor shortage more so for companies operating in the US market. However, with a superior education system, the US has one of most highly trained and skilled employees (Wetherly, & Otter, 2014). However, rising racial bigotry is not only a concern for the government but also for major corporations such as Coca Cola and Pepsi that rely on political stability to sell products. Finally, innovation and technology are considered by m ...

Coca-cola being a leading organization in the beverage industry contributes largely to the sales of soft drinks globally. With today’s stiff competition, organizations need strategies to gain competitive advantage. This paper will analyze Coca-Cola in regards to its business-level strategies, corporate-level strategies, competitive environment, and market cycles. Business-Level Strategies
A business-level strategy is concerned with the position of organizations in a given industry while considering factors comparison to the competition (Schermerhorn & Bachrach, 2010). Coca-Cola's business-level strategy is a differentiation strategy. This strategy is based on offering product that is unique hence an organization ends up acquiring a greater market share and defending the higher pricing of products. Therefore, this strategy differentiates an organization from its competitors. Coca-Cola uses a differentiation strategy for it to remain unique. With the high competition that it is facing, this strategy separates Coca-Cola from its competitors. With this strategy, Coca-Cola has been able to develop products that are unique and valued by its customers. For instance, most of the consumers opted for healthy drinks as compared to flavored drinks and this had a negative impact on Coca-Cola. The taste and preferences of customers keep on changing and hence an organization has to develop ways that will help it remain relevant in the market. Coca-Cola, therefore, developed Coca-Cola Zero Sugar which was branded and marketed as a healthy drink but a version of the original sugar-sweetened. The production of this product was for it to remain relevant and continue to be successful even with the transition of consumer’s tastes and preferences. This indicates that Coca-Cola has a unique capacity that is used for customization of its products and services to ensure that the wants and the needs of the target market are met. For instance, Coca-Cola provides Diet Coke and vitamin to the old consumers who are health conscious. It also meets the needs and expectations of its young customers through the provision of cherry and vanilla coke.
Coca-Cola management invests a lot of time and money in research and development. The main aim is to acquire an understanding of the different market segments about customer’s age, income, and lifestyle. This information is then used in marketing for the products right and achieving the right development. Coca-Cola packaging has remained unique as compared to its competitors and hence it has been able to remain adaptable in different market sections (Schermerhorn & Bachrach, 2010). With its functional packaging, it has been able to make its products appear different in the form of its sizes and forms. Coca-Cola has achieved the production of cans and bottles based on.

Coca-Cola Company in the beverages industry
Step I. Corporate Mission and Goals
Brief history of the background and evolution of the organization
Coca-Cola Company is the manufacturer of Coke or Coca-Cola soft drinks. The company was founded in 1886 by John Pemberton. He was inspired by his curiosity as he stirred up a fragrant, caramel-colored liquid that he brought down to a place called Jacobs’ Pharmacy. There he added carbonated water and let several customers sample the new concoction. Although John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola, which is a carbonated soft drink, he later sold it to businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose smart marketing tactics made the soft drinks to dominate the world of beverages in the entire 20th century. During the introduction stage into the market, the company used to sell nine drinks in Atlanta per day, but currently it is selling more than 19400 beverages every second around the globe (Moran). Its advertising strategies have changed to reach greater markets. Today Coca-Cola is one of the best-known brands around the world. However, when the company started, it used free coupons to promote its product. When Griggs Candler acquired the company, his budget to promote the product was $11,000. In 2011, the company allocated $4 billion for the marketing of its products (Moran). Also, over the decades the bottling of the beverages has changed to differentiate it from other close substitutes. These changes have also been seen in the company logos.
Mission and Vision
Coca-Cola has aimed to maximize its profit while keeping long-term sustainable growth in the beverage industry. The mission statement of the company states that it aims to refresh the world, inspire the moments of happiness and optimism, and create value and build a difference in the world.

It appears that the vision of Coca-Cola consists of 6 P’s which are people, portfolio, partners, planet, profit, and productivity. The company’s values include integrity, collaboration, accountability, diversity, leadership, passion, and quality (“Mission, Vision & Values”). The winning culture of the company explains its behaviors and attitudes that will make their vision 2020 a reality.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Financial Statement Analysis
Financial Statement Analysis for PepsiCo and the Coca-Cola Company
Introduction
Investment analysts play the important role of advising investors and creditor on which
assets and company to channel their funds. Investment analysts have to analyze the fundamentals
of the a given company in order to provide sound advice concerning the suitability of the firm as
an investment option. This paper presents the financial statement analysis of PepsiCo and Coca-
Cola. The paper presents a description of the companies and an analysis of the firms’
performance using profitability ratios. The paper also scrutinizes news events that have impacted
the performance of the firm, as well as, the firm income statements, and presents a vertical
analysis of the firm’s balance sheets.
Descriptions of Companies
PepsiCo is an American corporation that manufactures and sells beverages and foods in
the global market. The corporation has a broad assortment of products including several
hundreds of beverage brands such as Pepsi, 7 Up, Walkers, and Cheetos. Food brands contribute
63% of PepsiCo’s revenues while beverages contribute the remaining 37%. The company was
founded in 1902 when Caleb Bradham registered the company but the first product, Pepsi, was
made earlier in 1880. Caleb decided to register the firm and a patent for his recipe after the
product gained popularity. The firm went bankrupt in 1931 leading to the purchase of syrup
recipe and the company’s trademark by Charles Guth, who was the president of Loft
Incorporated. In 9135, Loft shareholders sued Guth for his 91% stake because of using Loft
resources to produce and market Pepsi-Cola products. The shareholders won the case leading to
the transfer of the company’s ownership. The company grew using various strategies including
product development, acquisitions and divestments, and internationalization.
3. 3
Financial Statement Analysis
Coca-Cola is also an American company that manufactures and sells beverages. The
corporation also has a broad assortment of products including coke, Cola Turka, Evoka Cola and
Fanta. Unlike Pepsi, Coca-Cola only focuses on the production and sale of beverages. In 2013,
Coca-Cola distributed its products in over two hundred nations around the globe with the
company selling over 1.8 billion beverage servings every day. Coca-Cola Company began in
1885 when John Pemberton registered French Wine. Pemberton, then, developed Coca-Cola as
an alcohol-free version of French Wine Coca, which that company sold as medicine. In 1888,
Asa Candler purchased the rights to Coca-Cola Company and its product becoming the sole
proprietor. The first bottling plant was established in 1891 followed by a series of expansion
through a licensing strategy.
Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios are metrics that weigh the firm’s ability to generate profits. Creditors
are often interested in the profitability of firms because profitability gives them a good indication
about the company’s ability to repay debt. Profit margin is one of the profitability ratios that
would be of interest to creditors. Profit margin weighs the firm’s capacity to convert sales into
net income. It gives a hint of the corporation’s ability to manage costs and expenses. The ratio is
computed by dividing the value of the firm’s net profits with the value of sales.
Creditors are also interested in the return on assets (ROA). The ROA gauges the
corporation’s efficiency in using assets to generate profits. A higher ROA connotes greater
efficiency in the management of company’s assets. The ratio is computed by dividing the value
of net income with that of total assets.
The third profitability ratio that would interest creditors is the return-on-capital-employed
(ROCE). ROCE measures the corporation’s efficiency is using capital to generate profits. A
4. 4
Financial Statement Analysis
large ROCE connotes a high level of efficiency in the utilization of the company’s capital.
ROCE is computed by dividing Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) by the value of capital
employed. Capital employed is given by the sum of debt liabilities and shareholders’ equity.
Company PepsiCo Coca-Cola
Year 2013 2012 2013 2012
Profit Margin 0.1015 0.0943 0.1832 0.1878
ROA 0.0870 0.0828 0.0953 0.1047
ROCE 0.1644 0.1599 0.1918 0.2092
The analysis show that the Coca-Cola Company in more profitable than PepsiCo. Coca-
Cola exhibits superior performance in all the three ratios. This trend implies that the Coca-Cola
is more efficient that PepsiCo in terms of utilizing sales, assets, and capital to create profits.
However, Coco Cola exhibits a declining trend in all the three ratios while PepsiCo exhibits
improvements in all the three ratios, in the past two years. These trends imply that while the
efficiency of PepsiCo in managing assets, costs, and capital is increasing, Coca-Cola efficiency
in these areas is declining. PepsiCo and Coca-Cola can improve their gross margin by
establishing strategies for managing their expenses and costs. These strategies may entail
increasing economies of scale or enhancing the efficiency of their operations. The companies can
enhance their ROA by managing asset costs. For instance, the companies can reduce inventory
costs by maintaining levels of inventory that reflect sales expectations. The firm can also reduce
equipment costs by leasing and renting equipment. ROA can also be increased by increasing
revenues without adding the cost of capital. For instance, the company can make optimal use of
production equipments by organizing optimal work schedules. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo can
increase ROCE by establish an appropriate pricing strategy (Dawson, 2013).
News Events
The political, social, physical, competitive, and economic environments have a
momentous effect on the financial performance of corporations. Therefore, it is imperative for
5. 5
Financial Statement Analysis
investors to consider these environments. Two contemporary events have affected the operations
of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. These events include the planned introduction of nutritional labeling
laws and the wet weather conditions. The Food and Drug Administration has put forward
changes to the labeling laws (Wilson & Christensen, 2014). These changes are going to affect the
labels of packages of all beverages and foods. The new laws place emphasis on the disclosure of
total calories, sugar, and certain nutrients contained in the product. These changes target to
provide consumers with additional information about what they consume in products. The main
intent of the changes is to enable consumers to maintain healthy dietary practices.
The changes to the labeling requirements are bound to add to the pressure exerted on both
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo by the increased levels of health consciousness among consumers.
PepsiCo and Coca-Cola specialize in the production of carbonated drinks that have by high sugar
and calorie content. PepsiCo also has a broad array of snack brands that have high fat and calorie
content. Therefore, the changes to the labeling laws are bound to reduce the consumption of
these products by making consumers more aware of the content of the products.
In recent months, the U.S. has experienced wet and cold weather conditions in most of its
regions. The cold and wet weather is attributed to various factors including climate change
(Bohrer, 2014). The cold weather is also having an adverse effect on the operations of both
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. Cold beverages are the core products for the Coca-Cola Company and
account for a significant portion of PepsiCo’s revenues. However, the cold weather has reduced
the consumption of these beverages in the U.S market. In August 2014, the consumption of
beverages declined by 3.8% from the same period last year (Fusion Research, 2014). The
downturn also reflects in the overall sales of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
6. 6
Financial Statement Analysis
The two events have had an impact on the financial performance of the company.
However, these events have not had a severe effect on the perception of investors and creditors
of both companies. The surging share prices of both companies give a sign that shareholders still
have confidence in the financial performance of the firms. The credit ratings for both firms also
exhibit creditor’s confidence. A significant factor that has shielded the companies from suffering
severe implication is the high level of product differentiation. The two companies have already
noted this threat and have begun to shift towards the production of relatively health products
such as smoothies, coffee, and others.
Companies’ Income
The income statement informs investors about the ability of the company to generate
income. A high performing firm should have high profits in relations to revenues or low
expenses in relations to revenues. A noteworthy item in an income statement is the company
revenues. This item represents all the money that the firm earns in a given period. High revenues
increase the profitability of the firm. Another significant section of the income statement is the
expense section. Expenses are significant entries into an income statement as they have an effect
on the firm’s income. A company may have high revenues but fail to survive because on an
inability to control expenses. The most appropriate way of analyzing the income of a given firm
is by using the profit margin. This ratio points out the capacity of the corporation to generate
revenues and manage expenses.
An analysis of the income statement reveals that PepsiCo had higher revenues that Coca-
Cola in 2013 and 2012. However, PepsiCo had lower net income that Coca-Cola over the same
period. Therefore, Coca-Cola is the better performer of the two companies because it has a
higher income. Investors are interested in the company’s income and not revenues. The trend
7. 7
Financial Statement Analysis
suggests a problem in the operations of PepsiCo. The firm is unable to manage its expenses
effectively. In 2013, PepsiCo had a gross margin of 0.1014 as compared to 0.1832 for Coca-
Cola. These figures are an indication that out of one dollar of sales PepsiCo was only able to
convert $0.1014 into profits while Coca-Cola was able to convert $0.1832.
Year 2013 2012
PepsiCo 0.1014 0.0943
Coca-Cola 0.1832 0.1878
Therefore, the best way for PepsiCo to improve its financial performance is by reducing
its expenses. The income statement demonstrates that PepsiCo has no problem in generating
revenues. In fact, the firm had more revenues than Coca-Cola. The problem is, therefore, in the
management of expenses. Wal-Mart can reduce expenses by reevaluating it value chain and
eliminating non-essential activities. The firm can also introduce efficient ways of running its
operations. Specifically, PepsiCo needs to find ways of reducing its selling general and
administrative costs, interest expenses, and tax expenses.

The vertical analysis of the balance sheet reveals several issues about the firms. The
analysis reveals that PepsiCo is doing badly in term of managing it credit sales. According to the
analysis, PepsiCo receivables are 9% of the firm’s total assets while Coca-Cola receives accounts
10. 10
Financial Statement Analysis
for only 5% of the total asset value. PepsiCo also has relatively low liquidity as the value of
current assets is 29% of the total asset value as compared to Coca-Cola’s 35%. This percentage
indicates that PepsiCo is a higher risk of experiencing liquidity problems than Coca-Cola. The
figures suggest that most of PepsiCo’s assets are in the form of long-term assets. In fact, PepsiCo
value of plants and equipments is 24% of total asset value as compared to Coca-Cola’s 17%. The
analysis also reveals challenges in the management of liabilities within PepsiCo. PepsiCo total
liabilities are 69% of the value of total assets while Coca-Cola liabilities are 63% of the firm’s
asset value. These figures suggest that Coca-Cola is better placed to meet its debt obligations
than PepsiCo. PepsiCo high liabilities are attributed to company’s reliance on debt finance.
PepsiCo’s long-term debt is 31% of the firm’s asset value as compared to Coca-Cola’s 10%.
From the vertical analysis, it is clear that PepsiCo is the lagging company.
PepsiCo can improve its financial performance in various ways. First, PepsiCo should
revise its credit policies so as to enhance the management of assets. The credit policies are
affecting the company’s income and cash position by holding too much of the company’s assets
in the form of receivables. PepsiCo should revise its credit policies so as to ensure that debts pay
their dues within the shortest time. PepsiCo can use strategies such as cash discount to enhance
its debtor management capacity. PepsiCo should also reduce asset costs through leasing and
hiring of equipments. The firm’s value of plants and equipments is relatively high, which means
that the firm spends a lot of resources in the purchase and maintenance of plants and equipment.
This trend reduces the returns of the company. PepsiCo can enhance its debt management
capacity by reducing its financial leverage level. The firm has a high debt level which means that
it finances the purchase of company assets using debt. The firm needs to revise its capital
11. 11
Financial Statement Analysis
structure so as to reduce bankruptcy risks. PepsiCo should consider exploring more of the equity
option so as to reduce the company’s debt level.
Conclusion
The analyses reveal that both companies are in a good financial position. However, Coca-
Cola is the best investment option for creditors and investors as it outperforms PepsiCo in many
financial indicators. PepsiCo can enhance its financial performance by improving its
management of expenses, debtors, assets, and debts.
