McDonald’s Corporation

When most firms were struggling in 2008, McDonald’s increased its revenues from $22.7 billion in 2007 to $23.5 billion in 2008. Headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois McDonald’s net income nearly doubled during that time from $2.4 billion to $4.3 billion—quite impressive. Fortune magazine in 2009 rated McDonald’s as their 16th “Most Admired Company in the World” in terms of their management and performance.

McDonald’s added 650 new outlets in 2009 when many restaurants struggled to keep their doors open. McDonald’s low prices and expanded menu items have attracted millions of new customers away from sit-down chains and independent eateries. Jim Skinner, CEO of McDonald’s, says, “We do so well because our strategies have been so well planned out.” McDonald’s served about 60 million customers every day in 2009, 2 million more than in 2008. Nearly 80 percent of McDonald’s are run by franchisees (or affiliates).

McDonald’s in 2009 spent $2.1 billion to remodel many of its 32,000 restaurants and build new ones at a more rapid pace than in recent years. This is in stark contrast to most restaurant chains that are struggling to survive, laying off employees, closing restaurants, and reducing expansion plans. McDonald's restaurants are in 120 countries. Going out to eat is one of the first activities that customers cut in tough times. A rising U.S. dollar is another external factor that hurts McDonald’s. An internal weakness of McDonald’s is that the firm now offers upscale coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos in over 7,000 locations just as budget conscious consumers are cutting back on such extravagances.

About half of McDonald’s 31,000 locations are outside the United States. But McDonald’s top management team says everything the firm does is for the long term. McDonald’s for several years referred to their strategic plan as “Plan to Win.” This strategy has been to increase sales at existing locations by improving the menu, remodeling dining rooms, extending hours, and adding snacks. The company has avoided deep price cuts on its menu items. McDonald’s was only one of three large U.S. firms that saw its stock price rise in 2008.

The other two firms were Wal-Mart and Family Dollar Stores.

Other strategies being pursued currently by McDonald’s include replacing gasoline-powered cars with energy-efficient cars, lowering advertising rates, halting building new outlets on street corners where nearby development shows signs of weakness, boosting the firm’s coffee business, and improving the drive-through windows to increase sales and efficiency.

McDonald’s receives nearly two thirds of its revenues from outside the United States. The company has 14,000 U.S. outlets and 18,000 outlets outside the United States. McDonald’s feeds 58 million customers every day. The company operates Hamburger University in suburban Chicago. McDonald's reported that first quarter 2009 profits rose 4 percent and same-store sales rose 4.3 percent across the globe. Same-store sales in the second quarter of 2009 were up another 4.8 percent.

Questions:

1.      Which theory of organizational adaptation is applied at McDonald's (Theories to choose from: Institution Theory, Strategic choice perspective, and Organizational Learning Theory) ? Discuss.

2.      Conduct the environmental scanning of McDonald's through SWOT analysis.

3.      Discuss any 2 strategies used at McDonald's ( Strategies to choose from : Corporate strategy, Business Strategy, and Functional Strategy) . Elaborate.

4.      Under which strategic type (according to Miles and Snow) can McDonald’s be classified? Elaborate.

Waterways Continuing Problem-10 (Part Level Submission)

Waterways Corporation has recently acquired a small manufacturing operation in British Columbia that produces one of its more popular items. This plant will provide these units for resale in retail hardware stores in British Columbia and Alberta. Because the budget prepared by the plant was incomplete, Jordan Leigh, Waterways’ CFO, was sent to B.C. to oversee the plant’s budgeting process for the second quarter of 2017.

Jordan asked the various managers to collect the following information for preparing the second-quarter budget.

Sales
Unit sales for February 2017 99,000
Unit sales for March 2017 111,000
Expected unit sales for April 2017 119,000
Expected unit sales for May 2017 124,000
Expected unit sales for June 2017 129,000
Expected unit sales for July 2017 144,000
Expected unit sales for August 2017 169,000
Average unit selling price $12


Based on the experience from the home plant, Jordan has suggested that the B.C. plant keep 10% of the next month’s unit sales in ending inventory. The plant has contracts with some of the major home hardware giants, so all sales are on account; 50% of the accounts receivable is collected in the month of sale, and the balance is collected in the month after sale. This was the same collection pattern from the previous year. The new plant has no bad debts.

Direct Materials

The combined quantity of direct materials (consisting of metal, plastic and rubber) used in each unit is 1.10 kg. Metal, plastic, and rubber together amount to $1.50 per kg. Inventory of combined direct material on March 31 consisted of 13,145 kg.

This plant likes to keep 10% of the materials needed for the next month in its ending inventory. Fifty percent of the payables is paid in the month of purchase, and 50% is paid in the month after purchase.

Accounts Payable on March 31 will total $124,800.

Direct Labour

Labour requires 15 minutes per unit for completion and is paid at an average rate of $12 per hour.

Manufacturing Overhead
Indirect materials $0.50 per labour hour
Indirect labour $0.50 per labour hour
Utilities $0.60 per labour hour
Maintenance $0.30 per labour hour
Salaries $44,800 per month
Depreciation $14,400 per month
Property taxes $2,200 per month
Insurance $1,050 per month
Janitorial $2,400 per month
Selling and Administrative
Variable selling and administrative cost per unit is $1.40.
   Advertising $12,000 a month
   Depreciation $2,600 a month
   Insurance $1,200 a month
   Other fixed costs $3,500 a month
   Salaries $60,000 a month


Other Information

The Cash balance on March 31 will be $115,000, but Waterways has decided it would like to maintain a cash balance of at least $500,000 beginning on April 30. The company has an open line of credit with its bank. The terms of the agreement require borrowing to be in $1,000 increments at 2% interest. Borrowing is considered to be on the first day of the month and repayments are on the last day of the month. Assume interest is paid at the end of the quarter.

In May, $880,000 of new equipment to update operations will be purchased.

Three months’ insurance is prepaid on the first day of the first month of the quarter.

For the second quarter of 2017, prepare a selling and administrative expenses budget. (Enter per unit expenses rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)
