...FINANCIAL ANALYSIS BY: JAMES XXXXXX The vertical analysis of the PEPSICO and Coca-Cola Company show that PEPSICO rose 2 percent and Coca-Cola dropped 4.3 percent from the year 2004 to 2005. The way to find the vertical analysis is to take the current assets and the total assets and divide them. All numbers in the following paper are in in millions, with the exception of the percentages. In 2004, the then current assets for PEPSICO was $8,639, divide that by the 2004 total assets of $27,987, and the quotient was 30.9%. In 2004, for Coca-Cola Company had a current assets of $12,281 and a total assets of $31,441 which gave a quotient of 39.1%.

With the Coca-Cola Company the current assets, in 2005, were $10,250($204 less than in 2004) and the total assets were $29,427($2,014 less than in 2004), when those two are divided the answer comes out to 34.8%.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS Final course grades will be based on student performance on three written assignments and on student participation in class discussions. Written Assignments. Each student will be expected to submit two individual case analyses that indicate what the student learned from reading and discussing the case in question. The case analyses should be one single spaced typewritten page long and should be submitted the week after the case that they address is discussed in class. Individual case analyses will be graded on a scale from 1-3 and together will comprise 10% of a student’s final grade. Each student should also form a group with three to four other students to complete a case study of a real organization. The research for this case study can be carried out using primary sources (e.g., participation observation and/or interviews) or secondary sources (e.g., books, articles, or prepared cases about a target organization). Thus, group members need not have worked in an organization to use it as the subject of their final case analysis. Other case analysis topics...

...overall profit is generated for the vendor. Loss Lead describes the concept that an item offered for sale at a reduced price and is intended to lead to the subsequent sale of other items, the sales of which will be made in greater numbers, or greater profits, or both. It is offered at a price below its minimum profit margin-- not necessarily below cost. The firm tries to maintain a current analysis of its accounts for both the loss lead and the associated items, so it can monitor how well the scheme is doing, as quickly as possible, thereby never suffering an overall net loss. An example is a supermarket selling sugar or milk at less than cost to draw customers to that particular supermarket. Marketing academics have shown that retailers should think of both the direct and indirect effect of substantial price promotions when evaluating their impact on profit.[4] To make a very precise analysis one should also include effects over time. Deep price promotions may cause people to bulk-buy (stockpile), which may invalidate the long-term effect of the strategy. This is the association rule analysis.[5]...

...based on local raw materials and talent. In July 1954 while on a visit to Sweden, Syed Babar Ali the first Managing Director and now Advisor to Packages Limited, negotiated the setting up of a packaging plant in Lahore with the collaboration of AB Akerlund and Rausing (Sweden). Packages Ltd. is one of the most famous and successful companies in packaging industry. It is situated at the south side of Lahore city in the industrial area., Packages emerged as a company geared to provide solutions. Sprawled over 105 acres, Packages is a dynamic example of cross-functional integration of various processes. Initially, Packages helped the consumer industry by providing packaging solutions in the form of cartons for cigarette, tea, confectionery, pharmaceutical and soap industries. However, supply of paper and board by local mills did not meet the quality requirements of the customers. As a result, in 1965 backward integration became a necessity to sustain quality output when a Paper and Board mill was put up. This happened because of strong belief in self-sufficiency and quality product development as an inherent part of the process. It is sole largest company, which is serving the 35% need of a county in its category. Today, Packages Ltd. is considered among the leading, fully integrated packaging complexes in Asia.. It was the dream of Syed Baber Ali to set up in Pakistan an industry based on local raw materials and talent. In July* Mr. Syed Mratib Ali Shah laid the cornerstone on...

Lewiston sent Gilbury several cards on different occasions one card accompanied with roses. He also asked her to lunch on 2 different occasions which she responded no to both times and told Lewiston she is “a happily married women”. One card stated “I hope you can return my affections for you. I need you so much”. When Lewiston went to explain himself for the card he “accidently” brushed Gilbury’s hair. He stated he meant to touch her shoulder. Gilbury drove away very upset. She then received another card apologizing for trying to develop a relationship with her.
