At the end of each chapter, there is a case study entitled Comparative Analysis Case. This case looks at
the financial statements of The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo, Inc. The financial statements are
presented in Appendices C and D, respectively. These can be found in your textbook. The complete
annual reports, including the notes to financial statements, are available online. To find an online
version of the annual reports, search for the company you are trying to access and then search on the
company website for the annual report. You should be able to find comparative years on the website for
the years in your appendix, if you cannot you can use another year’s annual report.
Each case has discussion questions pertaining to the chapter covered. To complete the project, choose
3 chapters that interest you and answer the questions presented in chapters that you have chosen in a
report form (a paper with introductory, body, and closing paragraphs).
