Payroll 4,800 Occupancy (rent, depreciation, etc.) 2,690

b. What is McDonald's contribution margin ratio? Round to one decimal place.
c. How much would income from operations increase if same-store sales increased by $500 million for the coming year, with no change in the contribution margin ratio or fixed costs? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a million (one decimal place).

Answer:

(A) Contribution Margin 4,940

(B) CMR 26% or 0.26

(C) the operation income will increase by 130,000

Explanation:

variable food, payroll ad 40% of general

8,140

4,800

2,800 x 0.4 = 1120

Total variable 14,060

(A)

[tex]Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin[/tex]

19,000 - 14,060 = 4,940

(B)

[tex]\frac{Contribution \: Margin}{Sales \: Revenue} = Contribution \: Margin \: Ratio[/tex]

4,940/19,000 = 0.26

(c)

↑sales x CMR = ↑operating income

↑500,000 x 0.26 = ↑130,000
