Financial Reporting Problem, Part II
PepsiCo is a highly known beverage distributor. The cola started in the late 1800s in a
drugstore, and its original name was “Brad’s Drink.” In 1898, cola introduced “Brad’s Drink” to
the market. Then, later change the name to Pepsi. It is a large company that has numerous assets
and liabilities. Many investors and creditors would be willing to work with this company
because they run a good business.
Currents assets are very significant to companies like PepsiCo. In the balance sheet,
“current assets are assets that a company expects to convert to cash or use up within one year or

The common type of current assets consist of cash, marketable securities, inventory,

cash. Therefore, the proper order for a company to have its assets listed under the current assets
is as follows: “cash, (2) short-term investments (such as short-term U.S. government securities),
(3) receivables (notes receivable, accounts receivable, and interest receivable), (4) inventories,
and (5) prepaid expenses (insurance and supplies)” (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2011, p. 50).
PepsiCo register its assets in the proper order under their current assets. First on the list
are its cash and cash equivalents, which is anything that can immediately turn into cash. Some
