Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Variable food and packaging = $6,129.7

Variable payroll = $4,756.0

Variable general, selling and administrative expenses = 40% × $2,487.9 = $995.16

Fixed general, selling and administrative expenses = 60% × $2,487.9 = $1,492.74

Fixed occupancy = $4,402.6

Total fixed cost = $1,492.84 + $4,402.6 = $5,895.34

Total variable cost = Variable food and packaging + Variable payroll + Variable general, selling and administrative expenses

= $6,129.7 + $4,756 + $995.16

= $11,880.86

a. McDonald's contribution margin

= Sales - Variable cost

= $18,169.3 - $11,880.86

= $6,288.44

b. McDonald's contribution margin

= Contribution margin / Sales

= $6,288.44 / $18,169.3

= 34.61%

c. Increase in operating income

= $500 million × 34.71

= $173,050,000

Suppose a government has no debt and a balanced budget. Suddenly it decides to spend $4 trillion while raising only $3 trillion

Nady [450]

Answer:

$40 billion

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount spend by government = $4 trillion

Amount raised by Taxes = $3 trillion

Interest rate = 4%

Now,

The bonds to be raised by the government

= Amount spend by government - Amount raised by Taxes

= $4 trillion - $3 trillion

= $1 trillion

= $1000 billion

Therefore,

The interest paid by the government each year

= Amount of bonds × Interest rate

= $1000 billion × 0.04

= $40 billion
