Answer: $535,251.25
Explanation:
Cash flow to investors from operating activities is calculated by:
= EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
EBIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Depreciation
= 1,484,000 - 803,000 - 175,000
= $506,000
Taxes = Tax rate * (EBIT - Interest)
= 35% * (506,000 - 89,575)
= $145,748.75
Cash flow to investors = 506,000 + 175,000 - 145,748.75
= $535,251.25
Answer: 1. 18 times
2. Park is in better position
Explanation:
1. Times interest earned is a financial ratio that measures interest coverage. It's essentially to check if a company can pay it's debt payments and is calculated by either EBIT or EBITDA divided by the total interest expense. The higher the better and anything above 2.5 times is usually considered.
Calculating would therefore be,
= $6,120,000 /$340,000
= 18 times.
2. As mentioned in the first answer, for the Times interest earned, the higher it is, the more favourable it is. So Park Company will be considered safer and are most definitely in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad. The fact that theirs is 18 means that they can pay off their interest expense 5 times more than their competitor who can only repay 12 times.

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.

Explanation:
When a firm can depreciate its capital equipment over a shorter period, it cuts its taxes now.
A capital asset's value dropping is referred to as capital depreciation. To determine the recovery cost incurred on fixed assets over the course of their useful lives, assets are depreciated. When the asset reaches the end of its useful life or you need to sell it, this is used as a sinking fund to replace it. Depreciation lowers the taxable income, which lowers the tax burden. Capital assets are listed as an asset on the balance sheet and are depreciated over the course of their useful lives. Businesses typically have to spread out the costs of capital investments over a number of years in accordance with predetermined depreciation schedules.
