Transaction Analysis for The Coca-Cola Company

Are you a Coca-Cola fan? Here are some trivial facts (https://www.eatthis.com/coca-cola-facts/).
:: John Stith Pemberton, who created Coke in 1886, had originally billed the soda as a
"temperance" drink, or an alternative to alcohol.
:: Coca-Cola invented the six-pack! The term "six-pack" conjures images of beer these days, but it
was originally a way to buy and carry multiple bottles of Coke, with the six-pack invented in 1923.
:: The Coca-Cola recipe is kept in a secure vault. It is kept in The Vaulf of the Secret Formula
exhibit at the World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta.
Alrighty enough of that.
Please refer to the 2021, 10-k for The Coca-Cola Company. Please open the 10-k and refer
to the financial statements: the income statement (referred to by Coca-Cola as
the Statements of Income) page 60; the Balance Sheet (page 62), and the statement of
stockholders' equity (referred to by Coca-Cola as the Statements of Shareowners' Equity) page 64.
Please note that Coca-Cola calls retained earnings "Reinvested Earnings."
In this transaction analysis, record the transactions and
adjustments described below directly into the financial statements. Start with the three financial
statements, entering the 2021 numbers for those financials. Then record the transactions and
adjustments, using a column to record each, to the right of the 2021 numbers.
As transactions are recorded, be sure the financial statements are updated accordingly, as shown
in the online talks, arriving at final balances after all transactions have been recorded.
Be sure items are formatted properly, including cell borders, number format, and be sure
the financial statement worksheets are landscaped and fitted to one page. All financial
statement totals and subtotals must be formulas. Be sure that "Net Income Attributable to
Shareowners of The Coca-Cola Company" on the Statement of Reinvested Earnings, in the
transaction columns, consists of a formula that captures all of the revenue and expenses
on the statement of income, as shown in the online talks. Also be sure that Reinvested Earnings
on the balance sheet, in the transaction columns, is linked to all items between the beginning
and ending balances on the Statement of Reinvested Earnings, such that any change in
the Statement of Reinvested Earnings is automatically captured as a change to Reinvested
Earnings on the Balance Sheet. Please do this as is shown in the online talks. Transactions
are on the next page, amounts are in $millions.

Transaction Analysis for The Coca-Cola Company

1 Let's get accounts receivable and bad debts taken care of first. If you look at the balance
sheet you will see that Trade accounts receivable, net of allowances of $516, is $3,512.
This means that total receivables are $3,512 + $516 = $4,028. In other words,
Accounts receivable is $4,028, Allowance for doubtful accounts is $516, and
net realizable value is $3,512. This is commonly how receivables are presented on
a balance sheet. Assume Coca-Cola performs an aging of accounts receivable to determine
estimated bad debts, and the aging schedule is below. Given the information
in the schedule below, please adjust accounts receivable to its correct net realizable
value. Please be sure to show your computations. Please note that because the
allowance account is not shown on the balance sheet, reduce Accounts receivable
for the amount you arrive at for the adjustment.

2 An officer of the Coca-Cola borrowed $80 and signed a 120-day, 12% note. Please record
this, and use "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" as the account for the note receivable,
in other words assume Notes receivable is among the collection of items in that line item.
3 One hundred twenty days later, the officer repays Coca-Cola the amount borrowed, plus
interest, in #2 above. Please use 365 days as the denominator in your computation of interest.
4 Coca-Cola declared and paid an additional $1,100 cash dividend.
5 Sales of beverages, on account, terms 4/15, n/45, for cash, $3,800. Cost of the beverages sold
was $900.
6 Purchased inventories, on account, $1,200, terms 3/15, n/45.
7 Paid for the inventory purchased in #6, 10 days after the purchase. Please remember to
reduce Inventory for the discount.
8 Customers paid for the amount sold in #5, 11 days after the sale. Remember to reduce Net
operatng revenues for the discount.
9 Please refer to the Statement of Reinvested Earnings, specifically the "Adoption of accounting
standards" line item. This item captures the change made to financial statements when a
new accounting standard is issued which changes how a company accounts for something.
Let's pretend a new accounting standard was issued which changed how the company
accounts for Marketable securities (balance sheet current asset). Assume that adjusting
for this change resulted in increasing Marketable securities $12 and increasing "Adoption of
accounting standards" $12. Please record this.
10 Coca-Cola incurred additional income taxes, $760. On the statement of income this is
recorded in Income taxes. They will pay these taxes in a month, so record this as a liability,
in Accrued income taxes.
