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

Sindrei [870]

The closest to the minimum number of consumers needed to obtain the estimate with the desired precision is (b) 271

Explanation:

When the prior estimate of population proportion is not given , then the formula to find the sample size is given by :-

$n=0.25(\frac{z^{*} }{E} )^{2}$

where E = Margin of error.

z* = Critical z-value.

As per given , we have

E = 5%=0.05

Confidence level = 90%

The critical value of z at 90% is 1.645 (By z-table)

Put all values in the formula , we get

n=0.25(1.645/0.05)²

n=0.25(32.9)²

n=270.6025≈271

Thus, the minimum sample size needed = 271

Hence , the correct answer is 271 .

Answer:

-3.41%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below;

We use the formula:

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

$10,710,500 = $12,738,500 × (1 + rate of interest)^5

($10,710,500 ÷ $12,738,500)^(1 ÷ 5) = (1 + rate of interest)

(1 + rate of interest) = 0.965913622

r = (0.965913622 - 1) × 100

= -3.41%

sesenic [268]

Answer: Decrease in the short run aggregate supply. increase in long run aggregate supply

Explanation:

assuming the wage stays constant in the short run (price of labour), an increase inflation/general prices will lead to a decrease in the Supply of labour because the current wage is no longer enough to cover the same number of goods people used to buy which will then increase Unemployment. The Labor market will experience a situation where inflation and unemployment are increasing at the same time

The Supply of Labour will increase in the Long run because the wage price will have sufficient time to adjust and increase to a new equilibrium level. .an increase in wage price will increase the quantity of supplied.
