Risk Profile
Being a public company, Coca Cola Amatil faces different types of risks in the environment. The
company faces both systematic and unsystematic risks in the business environment that affects
volatility of its share prices and returns. Initially looking at unsystematic risks, an unsystematic
risk occurs in the industry or organization that affects the activities of respective business only.
So, it should be noted that unsystematic risks fluctuates the position of one single organization in
the target market. This type of risk decreases with the creation of portfolios that diversify the
amount of risks in the business environment (Waemustafa, & Sukri, 2016). Considering the case
in Coca Cola Amatil, it should be noted that in the year 2017, the company Woolworths decided
to set quota for the Coca Cola Amatil’s Mount Franklin Water and favour the company Pepsi in
the target market. This type of activity alarmed the interest of investors in the environment and

Managerial Finance 4
they started selling their shares in the market due to which the share price of the company’s
product was reduced by almost 3.75% in the business environment (Bhuyan, Reza, & El-Houbi,
2016).
Further, talking about systematic risks, it should be noted that systematic risks includes the
factors that affect the position of the market on a whole. This type of risk can be local or global
in nature but it affects to all the companies present in the industry. This type of fluctuation
creates impact on the whole society in the business environment. Also, this type of risk cannot be
diversified using portfolio diversification in the business environment (Chatzilakos, 2018).
Considering the case of Coca Cola Amatil Company it should be noted that increased use of
online shopping techniques has decreased the sales of the companies present the target market.
Through online sales many organization get to target the customers through multi-level
marketing and provide them products at discounts (Ayoob, 2018).
Resulting in which, customers reduces Coca Cola faces difficulty in supplying the products
online to small retailers due to which the sales revenue of the company is reduced. It should be
noted that systematic risks are much more risky than the unsystematic risk because in case of
unsystematic risk, the organization has the opportunity to pitch in for their risk and negotiate it in
the environment by diversifying the portfolio while in the case of systematic risks, the
organization do not have any way to go where they can manage their growth in market as all
other organizations present in the same industry are struggling to manage their position (Stewart,
2019).

(Morningstar, 2019)
Lastly, the efficiency ratio explains that the company collects the receivable in the environment
with an optimum time period. The company has quality customers who pay the debt quickly in
the environment. Also, it should be noted that the asset turnover ratio of the company is
consistently poor and they need to focus on it in order to improve the business conditions
(Pearson, 2016).
Time Value for Money
Time value of money refers to the process under which the available money at the present time
will give more worth than the identical sum in the future due to potential earning capacity.
According to this process, it is crucial for the organization to invest in the right type of activity in
the business environment so as to earn income in the long run. This concept provides an assumed
detail of the amount that the business will attain if they would invest their sum in a particular
activity in the current business environment (Tseng, et. al., 2018). With time, the value of money
either multiply or decreases in a certain project so it helps the company to analyse that whether
the activity will be profitable to the company in long run or not. Net Present Value and Internal
Rate of Return are the two ways to analysing the time value of money in long. Further, it should
be noted that the financial analysis of the company states that the overall profitability of the
company has reduced by 9.4% as compared to the past year 2017. Also, the growth rate of the
organization has declined by 22% in compared with the past 5 years (Serôdio, McKee, &
Stuckler, 2018).
Further, it should be noted that the investment projects of the company states that the next three
years are one with positive sentiments. It is expected by the organization to grow and reduce the
year to year volatility in the business environment. By the end of the year 2021, it is expected
that the organization will grow with an annual growth rate of 1.3%. It is predicted that the
organization will attain high level of revenue growth in the business environment. In the year
2018, the company announced a joint acquisition of 45% of shares of the minority interest in
Australian-based Made Group. The company has invested a sum of $ 45 million in the project
for growth. With an assumed discount rate of 5%, it is believed that the company will multiply
its investment by 5% by 2020 (Addis, 2015). Looking at the growth and profitability ratio of the

Managerial Finance 13
company, it has become important for the organization to investment in the right type of project
to increase the time value for money, stated that the rate of 5% is assumption. Further, it should
also be noted that investment of the company in the above mentioned project is a right choice
however, it is important for the company to look at various systematic as well as unsystematic
risk factors present in the environment. With this type of investment, it is expected that the
interest coverage ratio of the company will increase (Wang, 2015).
Sources of Finance
Sources of finance of a business involve various areas from which the company allocates the
income for the business. Equity, retained earnings, debts, venture funding etc. The sources of
finance of the company Coca Cola Amatil is constitute of two segments that are debts as well as
equity capital. The equity capital is further divided into Common stock, Other Equity,
Accumulated other comprehensive income and Retained earnings. Talking about the company
Coca Cola Amatil, it should be noted that the organization is negative retained earnings and
accumulated income present in the business environment. Further, the segment of debts is also
divided into various aspects like long term debt, minority interest and other long term liabilities
(Santos, 2015). The company has total attained amount of $ 2299 million from the external
environment.
Further, as stated above that the company has poor asset turnover ratio that explains that they are
further aiming to invest more in the assets so as to attain long term benefit in the business
environment. It should be noted that the earnings of the business is showing a negative balance
in the balance sheet, so the business takes the financial decision to earn more revenue from the
business environment and then squeeze the level of profits as well so as to make the position of
the company stable and surplus positive. Further, the company also aims to increase the level of
earnings per share in the environment once profitability is attained from the investments (Ashley,
2017).
Payout Policy
Payout policy refers to the ways in which the companies return the capital to the equity investors.
The payouts are given to the equity investors are given either through dividends or by

Managerial Finance 14
repurchase. The payout policy of the company explains the ways with which the company
distribute their earnings to the investors in the target market. Dividend is a form of surplus
amount that the organization provides to the loyal stakeholders in the business environment.
Further, it should be noted that the company Coca Cola Amatil also have a securities plan for the
dividend distribution reimbursement policy for the stakeholders. A dividend reinvestment plan is
an equity investment process that provides investment options directly from the underlying
company (Coca Cola Amatil, 2019).
Under this process, the dividend amount of the investor is reinvested in purchasing the stocks of
the company so through this process, on one hand the company provides dividend to the
investors while on the other hand take that money from them for the efficient functioning of the
business projects. Further, it should be noted that there are two types of dividend policies in the
environment one is constant dividend policy while other one is residual dividend policy. Under
the constant dividend policy, the company pays a fixed percentage of the profits as dividends to
the investors in the environment. While in case of residual dividend policy, the company pays
fluctuating amount on the basis of volatile profits. The company Coca Cola Amatil make use of
residual dividend policy to pay to the investors in the business environment.

statement. Further, the decisions of the company in regards to the time value of money has been
