Bed, Bath and Beyond (BBBY) currently has $400 million more in cash than they need for ongoing growth and operations requirements. While the company is financially sound analysts and investors worry about the company’s capital structure decisions. Investors do not want to see that much cash on the books and worry that the current capital structure is not the most effective for the future. They prefer that BBBY change their capital structure by paying out excess cash and issuing debt. This could allow BBBY to improve their return on equity and raise earnings per share. Given the low interest rates available it seems like the perfect time for BBBY to add debt to its capital structure. Until now they

Based on our projections for the years 2002-2004, the biggest driver that effects debt is the company’s operating expenses. Based on the history of the upward trend of operating expenses, our recommendation is that The Body Shop needs to concentrate on lowering the operating expenses, and keeping those expenses around 45% or lower in order to avoid borrowing money. Our 45% recommendation includes a safety net which will prevent having The Body Shop borrowing cash if sale do not continue to climb at a significant rate.

The price would determine how big of a percentage impact a $.015 per pound premium on paper purchased from dealers would be over scrap paper purchased at loading docks. Using historical information for the spot prices of scrap paper, in the 1979 to 1980 timeframe, spot prices ranged from $20 to $60 per ton. The $.015 premium becomes more of an issue the cheaper paper is available for purchase at the loading dock. At a spot price of $20 per ton or $.01 per pound, the $.015 per pound premium is 150% of the spot price. At this level, management should be focusing on casual purchases at loading docks. At a spot price of $60 per ton or $.03 per pound, the $.015 premium is 50% of the spot price. Rationalizing the premium will depend on which method is used to compute the cost per bale. When using the original cost report formula, the purchased bales were still cheaper after adding the $.015 per pound premium at all spot prices between $20 and $60 per ton. The prices for purchased bales ranged from $9.12 to $15.12 while the prices for formed bales ranged from $10.41 to $19.41. The purchased bales were more expensive at all spot prices between $20 and $60 per ton when computing costs using the formula proposed by the General Manager. Using the alternate cost report formula, total costs ranged from $10.63 to $16.63 per formed bale and $11.79 to $17.79 per purchased bale. Calculations can be found on the attached

Since the paint market has shown that consumers are price sensitive, cutting our price by 20 percent should in fact drive up sales. Perhaps we can achieve a larger market share if more people are drawn to our higher quality product, which is now at the similar price of the rest.
