Answer:
c) $110,000
Explanation:
The computation of the borrowing amount is shown below:
= Value of home × given percentage - current mortgage amount
= $200,000 × 80% - $50,000
= $160,000 - $50,000
= $110,000
For computing the accurate value, we have to deduct the current mortgage amount from the net value of home.
Since only 80% is related to the home value so we take only 80% and rest 20% would be ignored.
Back in 2015, McDonald’s was struggling. In Europe, sales were down 1.4% across the previous 6 years; 3.3% down in the US and almost 10% down across Africa and the Middle East. There were a myriad of challenges to overcome. Rising expectations of customer experience, new standards of convenience, weak in-store technology, a sprawling menu, a PR-bruised brand and questionable ingredients to name but a few.
McDonald’s are the original fast-food innovators; creating a level of standardisation that is quite frankly, remarkable. Buy a Big Mac in Beijing and it’ll taste the same as in Stratford-Upon Avon.
So when you’ve optimised product delivery, supply chain and flavour experience to such an incredible degree — how do you increase bottom line growth? It’s not going to come from making the Big Mac cheaper to produce — you’ve already turned those stones over (multiple times).
The answer of course, is to drive purchase frequency and increase margins through new products.
Numerous studies have shown that no matter what options are available, people tend to stick with the default options and choices they’ve made habitually. This is even more true when someone faces a broad selection of choices. We try to mitigate the risk of buyers remorse by sticking with the choices we know are ‘safe’.
McDonald’s has a uniquely pervasive presence in modern life with many of us having developed a pattern of ordering behaviour over the course of our lives (from Happy Meals to hangover cures). This creates a unique, and less cited, challenge for McDonald’s’ reinvention: how do you break people out of the default buying behaviours they’ve developed over decades?
In its simplest sense, the new format is designed to improve customer experience, which will in turn drive frequency and a shift in buying behaviour (for some) towards higher margin items. The most important shift in buying patterns is to drive reappraisal of the Signature range to make sure they maximise potential spend from those customers who can afford, and want, a more premium experience.

Answer:
a. 7,900
b. 10,100
Explanation:
As for the provided information,
We know at break even point taxes shall be = 0 as there are no profits and no losses.
a. At break even: = 
Fixed Cost = $308,100
Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable cost = $79 - $40 = $39
Therefore, break even units = 
b. In case the company wants a profit of $51,480 after tax @ 40% then,
Earnings before taxes = 
= $85,800
Therefore, number of units = 
= 
= 10,100
