A look into the theory of PPP and the price of Coca-Cola throughout the world. In this assignment I am going to look at the theory behind Purchasing Power Parity PPP‚ and the potential reasons why PPP may not hold. I will then be looking at the value of a can of Coca-Cola in several different countries and demonstrating the variance in price and whether PPP holds‚ therefore giving an indication on whether or not a currency is over or undervalued in relation to a can of coke. I will also be assessing
