The cash flow statement (CFS) measures how well a company manages its cash position, meaning how well the company generates cash to pay its debt obligations and fund its operating expenses. The cash flow statement complements the balance sheet and income statement and is a mandatory part of a company's financial reports since 1987.1
In this article, we'll show you how the CFS is structured, and how you can use it when analyzing a company.

The question is incomplete:
McDonald's serves McRice Burger in Malaysia, McOZ Burger in Australia, Kiwi Burger in New Zealand, McHuevo Burger in Uruguay and McSamurai Burger in Thailand. These menu variations are examples of a:
a. A combination of global and local marketing mix elements
b. a selection of menu items that can be sold eventually in U.S. markets
c. A replacement of standard menu names with fancy names
d. a deviation from successful marketing practices
e. a reflection of failure of US menu items in those countries
Answer:
a. A combination of global and local marketing mix elements
Explanation:
The answer is that these menu variations are examples of a combination of global and local marketing mix elements because the company tries to position its products on a global scale but also adjusts its strategies locally to adapt the placement and distribution to the specific characteristics of each country.
The other options are not right because McDonalds is adjusting its offer in its market to be able to establish its position in that market and not to be able to sell the items in US markets or to replace standard menu names. Also, this is the result of analyzing how to better position in a new market and not a failure of US menu items in those countries.

Answer:
The EPS is approximately:
it can be any of them:
- if preferred dividends = $4,800,000, then EPS = $0.40 (option A)
- if preferred dividends = $720,000, then EPS = $1.76 (option B)
- if preferred dividends = $0, then EPS = $2 (option D)
EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / outstanding shares = ($6,000,000 - preferred dividends) / 3,000,000 shares
The Price/Earnings ratio is approximately:
- if EPS = $0.40, then PE ratio = 12.5 (option D)
- if EPS = $1.76, then PE ratio = 2.84 (option C)
- if EPS = $2, then PE ratio = 2.5 (option B)
Price/earnings (PE) ratio = share price / EPS = $5 / EPS
EPS cannot be $1.80, since PE ratio = 2.78 and that is not an option.
Some companies have a higher share price for the same level of earnings. Why?
Some stocks like Amazon have a very low EPS, form any years its EPS was very low bu its stock price kept rising. The stock price is based mostly on potential future earnings, not current earnings. A company that is being liquidated might have a high EPS, but a very low stock price since it will stop operating soon.
