Answer:

C) 4.2 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is as follows;

As we know that

Payback Period = Initial cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

Here

Initial cost = $278000

Annual net cash flow = Incremental after tax + Depreciation per year

where,  

Depreciation per year = (Original cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated Life

= ($278,000 - $30,000) ÷ 8 years

= $31,000

Annual net cash flow is

= $35000 + $31000

= $66000

So,

Payback Period is

= $278000 ÷ $66000

= 4.2 Years

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.

kumpel [21]
The job of the Federal Reserve System is to control the supply of money in the United States. Although it might seem like the Federal Reserve System prints the money as well, but this is in fact not true. The U.S. Treasury prints paper and coin currency and the Federal Reserve System distributes the money globally.
