Revenue
PepsiCo total net revenue include $62,799, $63,056, and $66,683 for 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. From the figure, I can see that the total revenue dropped for the fiscal year 2015 and 2016, this is because I am using 2014 as my base year. It is also interesting to see that the operating profit increase in 2016, even though 2016’s total net revenue appeared to be lower that the two previous years.
In 2016, the total operating profit posted a whooping sum of 17 percent increase, with an operating margin of 2.3 percentage points.

    2. The trend I noticed was that all three ratios: profit margin, return on assets, and return on equity had a good increase from 2001 to 2002. However, between 2002 and 2003 all three ratios take an even bigger down turn. This suggests to me that the common factor of these ratios, net income, has taken a sudden impact. Meanwhile, the one ratio that has held steady and even grew in 2003 was total asset turnover.…

    Home depot was drastically affected by the housing market crash and their numbers showed it; a few things can explain their numbers such as operating leverage, margin of safety, and cost behavior (Edmunds, Tsay, & Olds, 2011). The company announced that they suffered a 3% percent decrease in revenue in the first half of 2007 compared to the same time -frame in 2006; in addition to the 3% decreases in revenue they also suffered a 21% decline in profits. The 3% decline in revenue contributed to the decrease in profit in terms of operating leverage on profitability as revenues earned have to first cover that companies fixed cost and once the fixed costs are covered any additional revenue is pure profit. Comparing the numbers to the previous year the 3% decline in revenue lead to a 21% decrease in profit because they did not have as much revenue remaining after the fix costs were covered. Margin of safety is the difference in sales goal and breaking even; falling outside of the difference can result in a loss in profits.…
