T. Eaton Co. Limited, or more commonly known as Eaton’s, was founded in Toronto in 1869, by Timothy Eaton . It was one of the most successful department store retailers in Canada during the late 1800s to mid 1900s. Timothy Eaton’s success can be attributed to his strategy of appealing to the upper working class with disposable income and lower middle class as this reached a larger consumer base. Moreover, his introduction of the mail-order catalogue, his determination and detailed attention to the company’s accounting and finances, the increased urbanization and living standards, along with many more factors, led to Eaton’s success. Despite Eaton’s downfall in the 1970s, and finally bankruptcy in 1999 , it is undeniable that Eaton made some innovative changes to the retail landscape that differentiated itself, and are still present to this day. Firstly, all goods were sold at fixed cash prices, such that there would be no bartering, or price negotiations; so goods could not be purchased on credit. The introduction of the money-back guarantee was effective in gaining the loyalty of its customers: “Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded” .

This was the single, largest convertible bond issuance in history and required a considerable amount of effort on the part of Merrill Lynch’s Equity Derivatives Group to convince MoGen’s management to choose Merrill Lynch over its competitors.

Valuing the conversion option as a call option requires the

Information gathered from Costco’s balance sheet show that it has steadily grew a larger cash reserve. It has a higher rate of outstanding receivables and has sharply increased the rate of inventory kept in stock from 16% in 1997 to 27% in 2001. Another interesting fact to notice is the high increase in property, plants, and equipment increase in proportion to assets, from 31% in 1997 to 58% in 2001. Costco has a much higher ratio of accounts payable in 2001 compared to 1997, which can be explained by the many investments and purchases of property, land, and plans. The amount of short-term liabilities to assets has more than doubled, from 20% to 41%. This may be a troublesome trend if it continues since they
