Pepsico vs. Coca-Cola Essay
PepsiCo vs. Coca–Cola – A Financial Comparison June 13, 2007 AC550 May 2007 Executive Summary The purpose of this comparative
analysis is to provide a summary of financial and accounting information to a potential investor who is looking to invest in either Coca–Cola or
PepsiCo. This research will cover some facts from the financial statements of both companies for the year of 2004. There are many factors to
