Explanation / Answer

Current ratio

Cocal cola

The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term and long-term obligations. To gauge this ability, the current ratio considers the current total assets of a company (both liquid and illiquid) relative to that company’s current total liabilities. The formula for calculating a company’s current ratio is

Current ratio = Current asset/ Current liability

                           = 17551/ 13721

                           = 1.28

Current ratio is 1.28

PepsiCo

Current ratio = Current asset/ Current liability

                           = 12571/ 8756

                           = 1.44

Current ratio is 1.44

A/R turnover ratio = sale/ average receivable

                                    = 30990/3424 = 9.05

PepsiCo

A/R turnover ratio = 43232/4654 = 9.29
