Problem: I need help as financial statements, math, and ratios are greek to me. I need to pull together about 200 words...not a lot on the topics below from the financial statements provided via the links. Can you please help me understand and show how to figure the profitability and ratios in a way that I can understand? We are thinking of acquiring pepsi and comparing it to its competitor...coke.
Compare companies two most fiscal years:
- profitability
- management efficiency ratios
- leverage ratios
