Net income will appear to have an unusually large increase as we cover various measures of performance, but keep in mind that the one-time gain in 2010 of $4,978,000,000 caused most of the increase from 2009 to 2010. This is important as we continue our analysis of Coca-Cola Company throughout the chapter.

The increase in net sales and related increase in cost of goods sold resulted in an increase in gross margin of $2,524,000,000, or 12.7 percent. Cost of goods sold had a corresponding increase of $1,605,000,000, or 14.5 percent.
