The 2018 combination of Keurig Green Mountain with Dr Pepper Snapple joined a single-serve coffee system with a portfolio of soft drinks. The coffee half is a razor-and-blade model: brewers are sold near cost and profit comes from pods, which requires defending against unlicensed pod makers. The beverage half depends on the direct-store-delivery network that puts product on shelves. Distribution agreements for third-party brands add volume through the same trucks. Headquarters are in Burlington, Massachusetts and Frisco, Texas.

A protective put caps your downside on the KDP position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current KDP option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share KDP position at $30.79 is worth $153,950. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $3,079 to $6,158) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off KDP's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.
