Dr Pepper is the oldest carbonated soft drink in the United States, according to the U.S. Patent Office. The brand, which is now the largest seller of its parent company Dr Pepper Snapple Group, is slowly growing its market share. It is the third largest soft drink company in the United States, but it has very little presence outside the Americas, with most distribution rights elsewhere licensed to its main rivals, the beverage behemoths The Coca-cola Company, and PepsiCo. Dr Pepper has been competing with these companies primarily by offering unique beverage flavors, and a plethora of them. Through a series of lawsuits in the 1990's, Dr Pepper established that it was not a cola, but rather a pepper flavored soda.

As leaders in the snack manufacturing industry worldwide, Frito-Lay decided to buy Cracker Jack in order to expand into the sweet snacks market. Additionally, Frito-Lay is also a leader in the marketing of snacks, offering a variety of salty snacks that are sold worldwide.

Their expansion into the market in the 1990s was largely contributed to their introduction of “’better for you’ low-fat and no-fat-snacks (Kerin, p. 255).
With that big amount of cash in the company, TJX decided to use the cash asset to increase our operations because in 2016 the cash asset dropped to $2,095,473 which is only 18.22% of our total assets in 2016. To assist the operations, we also increased our stockholders equity to provide more funds to expand the work. The value of TJX’s stock has increased over the years which shows that more people trust TJX as years progress. Stockholder equity has increased from $3,665,937 to $4,307,075 but it is actually a decease of 1.09% in stockholder equity. This shows that although the amount of stockholder equity increases, it also shows that increase of total assets is not as high as the increase of total liabilities.

We understand the Blaine is a conservative company that doesn’t like to raise debt, but we believe that raising the right amount of debt will help drive value to the company and investors. As mentioned in our analysis, we believe it’s best to use $50 million of cash, $50 million of marketable securities, and raising $40 million of debt to repurchase shares. This means we can repurchase a total $140 million in shares. We recommend a 15% repurchase premium, which would set the repurchase price at $18.70. With that, we will be able to buy back approximately 7.5 million shares, or 1/8th of the total outstanding shares.

After KKR had completed the buyout, then had to shed about 46,000 employees after 1998 consequently they ended up having to sell off 6.2 billion dollars in assets to help get rid of the debt that they had incurred in taking over the company. During the First years of the KKR Reign the equity for the company fell from 24% to 16% from 1998 through 1994. We think that if Ross Johnson was able to take over the company for the original offer of 75 dollars a share things would have turned out a lot better for Nabisco because they shouldn’t have had to sell of as many assets or shed as much of the labor Force as KKR did when they bought the
