By: Suraj Srinivasan, Beiting Cheng and Edward J. Riedl
Abstract
The case illustrates the use of the residual income (also known as the abnormal earnings) valuation approach. Students are asked to provide a valuation of Coca-Cola Company using the residual income valuation methodology and understand how it maps into the discounted cash flow method.

Students also learn the modified Dupont decomposition technique and how to reclassify financial statements to perform the modified Dupont analysis.
