2ACCOUNTING FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND REPORT
Question 1
The PBG Gross Profit margin for the company in the year 2000 was around 44.8% and
was around 42.8% in the year 1999. The operating profit margin for the company was around
7.4% in the year 2000 and was around 5.5% in the year 1999. The change in the ratio was
computed for the company by adding up the depreciating expenses in the operating income of
the company. The change in the operating profit of the company was as such that the operating
profit margin of the company increased to around 7.6% in the year 2000 and 5.5% in the year
1999 (Appendix 1). The gross profit of the company would not change much with the change in
the depreciation amount of the company (Bragg 2017).
Question 2
The fraction of fixed assets depreciated in the year 2000 by the Pepsi Bottling Group Ltd
was around 53.2% in the year 2000 and the same was around 53.7% in the year 1999. The
fraction of the fixed asset depreciation at the same time if PBG had not changed the depreciation
policy then the same would the fraction would have been lower. The fraction of depreciation was
calculated by taking the book value of the depreciable assets divided by the amount of
depreciation expenses incurred by the company (Appendix 1). The fraction of depreciation in
contrast to the total assets of the company was around 53.2% in the year 2000 and was around
53.7% in the year 1999 (Del Giudice, Manganelli and De Paola 2016).
Question 3
The change in the depreciation policy will be affecting the fixed assets turnover ratio for
the company if the depreciation policy for the company changes. The fall in the depreciation
expenses for the company will ultimately increase the value of the fixed assets of the company

thereby decreasing the fixed asset turnover ratio for the company. The lower the fixed assets of
the company the higher is the fixed asset turnover ratio for the company. The higher the fixed
assets of the company the lower is the fixed asset turnover ratio for the company. The reduction
of the fixed assets in contrast to the total revenue of the company signifies that the company
might be fully utilizing the assets of the company (Gajfullina et al. 2017) (Appendix 1).
Question 4
The reduction in the depreciation expenses of the company was also applied for the CCE
Company where the total assets of the company was reduced by around 14 million for the
company. The reduction in the depreciation expenses of the company will ultimately increase the
operating profit of the company where the depreciation expenses of the company will be added
up. The operating profit margin for the company was around 7.6% and 5.8% in the year 2000
and 1999. The operating profit of the company after adding up the depreciation expenses of the
company was around 7.73% and 5.82% in the year 2000 and 1999 respectively (Appendix 2).
However, the gross profit margin of the company will not change for the company, which was
around 38.4% and 37.4% in the year 2000 and 1999 respectively (Gissel 2016).
Question 5
The PPG Company did sell some of the assets of the company where the company showed a
cash inflow of about 9 million for the company by selling the fixed assets of the company. The
company did not recognize any gain or loss on the fixed assets of the company as there was no
such items that was classified in the cash flow statement of the company for the financial year.
Reflecting that the company did sell the assets of the company at the right place thereby not
recognizing any profit or loss from the same.
