Answer:

PepsiCo, Inc.

a) Computation of the Inventory Turnover:

= Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory

(in millions)                     2015                      2016                      2017

= Cost of goods sold    18,038                     20,351               20,099

/ Average Inventory     $2,108                    $2,406               $2,570

=                                   8.6 times                8.5 times             7.8 times

b) computation of the days in inventory:

= Days in the period/Inventory Turnover Ratio

(in millions)                     2015                      2016                      2017

= Days in the period       365                       365                       365

/ Inventory Turnover Ratio 8.6 times               8.5 times              7.8 times

=                                       42 days                43 days                  47 days

c) Computation of the Gross profit rate:

= Gross profit/Sales * 100

(in millions)                     2015                      2016                      2017

Gross profit               $21,436               $22,900                 $23,142

/ Sales  Revenue        39,474                   43,251                  43,232

=                                  54.3%                     52.9%                     53.5%

d) PepsiCo's inventory turnover reduced marginally from 2015 to 2017.  The days in inventory fluctuated unsteadily just like the gross profit rate in the three years under review.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

(in millions)                     2015            2016             2017

Beginning inventory  $ 1,926        $ 2,290        $ 2,522

Ending inventory         2,290            2,522            2,618

Total Inventory             4,216              4,812            5,140

Average Inventory    $2,108           $2,406         $2,570

Sales revenue           39,474           43,251         43,232

Cost of goods sold    18,038           20,351         20,099

Gross profit             $21,436        $22,900        $23,142

PepsiCo's inventory turnover is a ratio that shows the frequency at which the company sells and replenishes its goods during an accounting period.   It is calculated as the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory.

PepsiCo's days in inventory indicates the number of days the company takes to sell its inventory.  It is calculated as the number of days in the period, e.g. 365 days, divided by the inventory turnover ratio.

The Gross profit rate shows the relationship between the gross profit and the sales revenue.  It is the percentage of sales revenue that covers the business expenses and from which net income is derived.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Suppose I am the CEO of the company and I am selling the Assets of the company which are the backbone of our company. I did this because I am of the opinion that I must increase the profit of the company in the short run and have compromised future incomes coming from that asset. And now suppose the asset sold was bought by one of our greatest competitor. Now we had sold him our key to success so what we learnt is that we can not assume a better future of the company without taking long term projects which will add great value to the operations, customers, shareholders and to the company.

"Between two major​ currencies, the spot exchange rate is the rate"​ ________ and the forward exchange rate is the rate​ _______
gogolik [260]

Answer:

B. <u>on that date</u>; <u>at some specified future date</u>

Explanation:

Spot rate refers to the exchange rate between two currencies prevailing as on that particular date when the exchange rates are inquired with a purpose to hedge the future risk owing to exchange rate fluctuations. For example,

1 CHF =  USD 1.01

A forward rate on the other hand refers to the exchange rate provided today which would be applicable on a specified future date. For example, if a UK exporter visits his bank to know the 6 month forward rate to cover his export exposure.

Forward contracts are for the purpose of hedging or risk reduction which may arise in future on account of currency rate fluctuations.
