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.

FORECASTING AVAILABILITY AND OVERBOOKING

A- On October 6, a 300-room property had occupancy of 70%. What is forecasted occupancy for October 7 if:
• 10 rooms are put out-of-order at 9am on October 6
• 150 rooms are on reservation
• Registration information indicates 101 rooms will depart today
• The hotel as an historical 6% cancellation rate
• The hotel as an historical 10% no-show rate

B- Assume that a 200-room hotel sold 50% of its rooms last night. Today, we anticipate that 75 rooms will depart. We hold60 6pm reservations and 90 guaranteed reservations. There are no advance deposits. What is the forecasted number of rooms available for sale
C- Assume that a given property has 300 rooms. After accounting for the day's departures and arrivals, 100 roomsremain unsold. Of these 100 rooms available, 50 rooms cannot be sold because they are out-of-inventory. In this case, theforecasted occupancy percentage would be

 ​Pybus, Inc. is considering issuing bonds that will mature in 25 years with an annual coupon rate of 11 percent. Their par value will be ​$1000​, and the interest will be paid semiannually. Pybus is hoping to get a AA rating on its bonds​ and, if it​ does, the yield to maturity on similar AA bonds is 10.5 percent. ​ However, Pybus is not sure whether the new bonds will receive a AA rating. If they receive an A​ rating, the yield to maturity on similar A bonds is 11.5 percent. What will be the price of these bonds if they receive either an A or a AA​ rating?

In this lab, you will implement Heap Sort algorithm for the same inputs.

For each algorithm, and for each n = 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000, 4000, 10000, measure its running time and number of steps when the input is (1) already sort, i.e. n, n-1, …, 3, 2,1; (2) reversely sorted 1, 2, 3, … n; (3) random permutation of 1, 2, …, n; (4) 50 instances of n random numbers generated in the range of [1..n].

Note:

(1) You may have to repeat the algorithm many times, each time you need to initialize the array.

(2) Your running time should exclude the time for initialization.

(3) All measurement should be done in a single run, i.e. you do not need to run once for n=100, another time for n=200, etc

IMPORTANT BELOW

********Report the number of steps and the CPU running time in a table.

********Approximation the constant c in the complexity of heap sort (cnlgn) by inspecting the results.

********Well documented source code in C++​​​​​​​

1. You take a sample of 4 people’s scores on a personality test. Their scores are 13, 16, 12, and 18. You don’t know the population mean or standard deviation. The mean of these scores is 14.75.

1. Use the corrected standard deviation formula to find the population standard deviation. Round to 2 decimal places. (Hint: Draw the chart)

2. Use the population standard deviation from (a) to find the standard error for these for sample. Round to 2 decimal places.

Sally has been practicing as an individual counselor for several years and has just begun working as a group counselor. As a part of her training, she led a psychotherapy group of women who had been hospitalized for mental disorders. Because she was sensitive and well trained as an individual clinician, Sally did well with the group. Members seemed to like her and she felt confident in her abilities, as did her ­clinical supervisor. After a busy and difficult week, Sally decided to skip supervision, stating to a colleague, “I am sure both my supervisor and I can find better things to do this week.” What was wrong with what Sally did? What was right about it? What do you think would have been the best course of action for Sally to take in this situation? Why is supervision important for group workers?
