Please assist me with an analysis of the Coca-Cola Company for the years presented in The Accounting Framework, Financial Statements, and some Accounting Concepts (Bruns, 1992a). This is not a traditional Harvard Case; however, use the exhibits as if the exhibits are the data present in a case.
By doing the following, your analysis should answer the question, "How is Coke performing?":
Compute a common-sized income statement and balance sheet for the years presented.
Compute the following ratios and interpret them for the years presented:
- Return on assets
- Return on equity
- Asset turnover
- Current ratio
- Debt ratio
- Net profit margin
