INTRODUCTION

 Although the realm of accounting and finance has
often been viewed as dull ‘bean counting’, in today’s modern and
competitive business environment, the finance department should
be at the heart of any company, encompassing a variety of
functions that go beyond its traditional financial reporting role.
While it is still a priority for accountants to ensure a company’s
financial statutory accounts meet legal requirements, dynamic
companies such as McDonald’s have shifted the focus of their
accounting and finance function to additionally include the
evaluation of past performance and appraisal of future
opportunities, helping to ensure the
Company maximises its strategic capabilities.

McDonald’s Restaurants UK Limited, a wholly owned

subsidiary of the U.S. parent company, opened its first UK
restaurant in Woolwich in 1974. There are now 37,241 restaurants
operating in the UK which.

McDonald’s understands the value of an integrated

accounting and finance function, extending from the restaurant
floor up to the board of directors. Each individual McDonald’s
restaurant is structured as an independent business, with

7
restaurant management responsible for its financial performance,
supported by the centralised Accounting & Finance department.

DEPARTMENT STRUCTURE & FUNCTION

McDonald’s Finance Department has two key areas of

responsibility: financial reporting and management accounting.
Although each of these functions has different priorities, working
together ensures the best financial position for the company now
and for the future.

HOW DOES MCDONALD’S MAKE A PROFIT?

McDonald’s has two sources of profit:

• Sales made by company-owned restaurants
8
• Rental and royalty income from franchised restaurants.

RESTAURANT SALES

McDonald’s retains all of the profit earned by company-owned

restaurants. An example Profit & Loss Statement for a restaurant
is shown left and highlights how food and labour constitute a
restaurant’s largest costs. In addition to variable costs, which
increase or decrease depending on the level of sales, McDonald’s
also incurs costs that are largely fixed, for example utilities and
advertising, which need to be paid for even before the restaurant
makes any sales. Increasing sales and controlling costs are
fundamental to ensuring the profit of each restaurant is either
maintained or increased.

 HISTORY OF McDONALDS.

The McDonald's History - 1954 to 1955

Raymond Albert Kroc 1902-1984, A Salesman
Ray Kroc mortgaged his home and invested
his entire life savings to become the
exclusive distributor of a five-spindled milk
shake maker called the Multimixer. Hearing
about the McDonald's hamburger stand in
California running eight Multimixers at a time,
he packed up his car and headed West. It
13
 was 1954. He was 52 years old.

Dick and Mac McDonald's Restaurant, San Bernardino,

California

Ray Kroc had never seen so many people

served so quickly when he pulled up to take
a look. Seizing the day, he pitched the idea
of opening up several restaurants to the
brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, convinced
that he could sell eight of his Multimixers to
each and every one. "Who could we get to
open them for us?" Dick McDonald said.

"Well," Kroc answered, "what about me?"

Where it all began, Des Plaines, Illinois

Ray Kroc opened the Des Plaines restaurant

in 1955. First day's revenues-$366.12! No
longer a functioning restaurant, the Des
Plaines building is now a museum containing
McDonald's memorabilia and artifacts,
including the Multimixer!

McDonald's Comes To Wall Street

15
 In 1965 McDonald's went public with the company's first
offering on the stock exchange. A hundred shares of
stock costing $2,250 dollars that day would have
multiplied into 74,360 shares today, worth approximately
$3.3 million on December 31, 2006. In 1985 McDonald's
was added to the 30-company Dow Jones Industrial
Average.

A Big Idea Called "Big Mac"

"Introduced system wide in 1968, the Big Mac was the

brainchild of Jim Delligatti, one of Ray Kroc's earliest
franchisees, who by the late 1960s operated a dozen
stores in Pittsburgh."

The Egg McMuffin

Introduced in 1973, the Egg McMuffin was developed

by owner operator Herb Peterson.

ANALIYSIS ON MCDONALDS AS
A SMALL SCALE CORPORATION
IN THE BEGINNING.

McDonald’s is one of the leading restaurant chains in

the world, touching the lives of people everyday. The long
journey of the burger brand started in 1940, when two brothers,
Dick and Mac McDonald opened the first McDonald’s restaurant
in San Bernardino, California. Initially, they owned a hotdog
stand, but after establishing the restaurant they served around 25
items, which were mostly barbequed. It became a popular and
profitable teen hangout. In 1948, the brothers closed and
reopened the restaurant to sell only hamburgers, milkshakes and
French fries.
19
 As per the information of the McDonald’s history, the
major revenue came from hamburgers, which were sold at a
nominal price of 15 cents. The restaurant gradually became
famous and the McDonald brothers begin franchising their
restaurant in the year 1953. The first franchise was taken by Neil
Fox and under it; the second Mc Donald’s restaurant was opened
in Fresno, California. It was the first to introduce the Golden Arch
design. The third and fourth restaurants were opened in Saginaw,
Michigan and Downey, California, respectively.

The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened

by siblings Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino,
California. Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in
1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food
restaurant. The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a
chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was
"Speedee." Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald
McDonald in 1963.

The present corporation dates its founding to the opening

of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on
April 15, 1955 , the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall. Kroc
later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company
20
and led its worldwide expansion and the company became listed
on the public stock markets in 1965. Kroc was also noted for
aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald's
brothers to leave the fast food industry. The McDonald's brothers
and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in
both Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers
autobiography. The site of the McDonald brothers' original
restaurant is now a monument.

With the expansion of McDonald's into many international

markets, the company has become a symbol of globalization and
the spread of the American way of life. Its prominence has also
made it a frequent topic of public debates about obesity, corporate
ethics and consumer responsibility.

MCDONALD'S India Pvt Ltd (MIPL), the wholly-owned

subsidiary of the US-based fast-food giant, McDonald's
Corporation, is likely to put on hold its earlier declared expansion
plan of opening 300 restaurants in India 2016.

ANALIYSIS ON MCDONALDS
CORPORATION AT
INTERNATIONAL LEVEL.

24
 McDonald's International through its wholly owned
subsidiary McDonald's India entered into two JVs, one with
Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. in the Northern & Eastern
region and another with Hard Castle Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. in the
Western & Southern region

McDonald's restaurants are found in 119 countries and

territories around the world and serve nearly 47 million customers
each day. McDonald's operates over 31,000 restaurants
worldwide, employing more than 1.5 million people. The
company also operates other restaurant brands, such as Piles
Café, and has a minority stake in Pret a Manger. The company
owned a majority stake in Chipotle Mexican Grill until
completing its divestment in October 2006. Until December 2003,
it also owned Donatos Pizza. On August 27, 2007, McDonald's
sold Boston Market to Sun Capital Partners.
25
 Most standalone McDonald's restaurants offer both
counter service and drive-through service, with indoor and
sometimes outdoor seating. Drive-Thru, Auto-Mac, Pay and
Drive, or McDrive as it is known in many countries, often has
separate stations for placing, paying for, and picking up orders,
though the latter two steps are frequently combined; it was first
introduced in Arizona in 1975, following the lead of other fast-
food chains. In some countries "McDrive" locations near
highways offer no counter service or seating. In contrast,
locations in high-density city neighborhoods often omit drive-
through service. There are also a few locations, located mostly in
downtown districts, that offer Walk-Thru service in place of
Drive-Thru. Especially themed restaurants also exist, such as the
"Solid Gold McDonald's," a 1950s rock-and-roll themed
restaurant. In Victoria, British Columbia, there is also a
McDonald's with a 24 carat (100%) gold chandelier and similar
light fixtures.

Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an

affiliate, or the corporation itself. The corporations' revenues
26
come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as
well as sales in company-operated restaurants. McDonald's
revenues grew 27% over the three years ending in 2007 to $22.8
billion, and 9% growth in operating income to $3.9 billion.

Full year 2008 highlights included:

 Global comparable sales increase of 6.9%, including
U.S. 4.0%, Europe 8.5%, and Asia/Pacific, Middle East and
Africa 9.0%
 Growth in McDonald’s combined operating margin of 320
basis points to 27.4%, after adjusting for the impact of the
2007 Latin America transaction
 Operating income increases in the U.S. 8%, Europe 23%
(17% in constant currencies) and Asia/Pacific, Middle East
and Africa 33% (28% in constant currencies)
 Earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.76, an
increase of 16% (14% in constant currencies), after adjusting
for the impact of the 2007 Latin America transaction

Return of $5.8 billion to shareholders through shares repurchased

and dividends paid, including a 33% increase in the quarterly
cash dividend to $0.50 per share for the fourth quarter – bringing
our current annual dividend rate to $2.00 per share

27
 Individual franchise arrangements generally include a lease
and a license and provide for payment of initial fees, as well as
continuing rent and royalties to the Company based upon a
percent of sales with minimum rent payments that parallel the
Company’s underlying leases and escalations (on properties that
are leased). McDonald’s franchisees are granted the right to
operate a restaurant using the McDonald’s System and, in most
cases, the use of a restaurant facility, generally for a period of 20
years. Franchisees pay related occupancy costs including property
taxes, insurance and maintenance. In addition, in certain markets
outside the U.S., franchisees pay a refundable, non interest-
bearing security deposit. Foreign
affiliates and developmental licensees pay a royalty to the
Company based upon a percent of sales, as well as initial fees.
The results of operations of restaurant businesses purchased and
sold in transactions with franchisees, affiliates and others were
not material to the consolidated financial statements for periods
prior to purchase and sale.

28
 McDonald's India…… Culturally Sensitive

McDonald's worldwide is well known for the high degree of

respect for the local customs and culture. McDonald’s has
developed a menu especially for India with vegetarian selections
to suit Indian tastes and preferences. Keeping in line with this,
McDonald's does not offer any beef or pork items in India. In
the last decade it has introduced some vegetarian and non-
vegetarian products with local flavours that have appealed to the
Indian palate. There have been continuous efforts to enhance
variety in the menu by developing more such products.

McDonald's has also re-engineered its operations repeatedly in its

11 years in India to address the special requirements of a
vegetarian menu. Vegetable products are 100% vegetarian, i.e.
 They are prepared separately, using dedicated equipment and
utensils.
 Only pure vegetarian oil is used as a cooking medium.
 Cheese and sauces are completely vegetarian and egg less.
29
 Separation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food products is
maintained throughout the various stages of procurement,
cooking and serving.

CHAPTER:-4

ANALIYSIS ON MCDONALDS ON
PRODUTIVITY & QUALITY.

30
 The site of the first McDonald's to be franchised by Ray
Kroc is now a museum in Des Plaines, Illinois. The building is a
reproduction of the original, which was the ninth McDonald's
restaurant.

To accommodate the current trend for high quality coffee

and the popularity of coffee shops in general, McDonald's
introduced McCafés. The McCafé concept is a café-style
accompaniment to McDonald's restaurants. McCafé is a concept
of McDonald's Australia, starting with Melbourne in 1993. Today,
most McDonald's in Australia have McCafés located within the
existing McDonald's restaurant. In Tasmania there are McCafés in
every store, with the rest of the states quickly following suit.
After upgrading to the new McCafé look and feel, some
Australian stores have noticed up to a 60% increase in sales. As
of the end of 2003 there were over 600 McCafés worldwide.

Some locations are connected to gas stations/convenience

stores, while others called McDonald's Express have limited
seating and/or menu or may be located in a shopping mall. Other
McDonald's are located in Wal-Mart stores. McStop is a location
targeted at truckers and travelers which may have services found
31
at truck stops. McDonald's announced on May 22, 2008 that, in
the U.S. and Canada, it will be introducing cooking oil for its
French fries that contain no trans fats. The company will use
canola-based oil with corn and soy oils by year's end for its baked
items, pies and cookies.
In a bid to tap into growing consumer interest in the
provenance of food, the fast-food chain recently switched its
supplier of both coffee beans and milk. UK chief executive Steve
Easterbrook said: "British consumers are increasingly interested
in the quality, sourcing and ethics of the food and drink they
buy". McDonald's coffee is now brewed from beans taken from
stocks that have been certified by the Rainforest Alliance, a
conservation group. Similarly, milk supplies used for its hot
drinks and milkshakes have been switched to organic sources
which could account for 5% of the UK's organic milk output. The
company has also expanded the McDonald's menu in recent
decades to include alternative meal options, such as salads and
snack wraps, in order to capitalize on growing consumer interest
in health and wellness. McDonald's predominantly sells
hamburgers, various types of chicken sandwiches and products,
French fries, soft drinks, breakfast items, and desserts. In most
markets, McDonald's offers salads and vegetarian items, wraps
and other localized fare. This local deviation from the standard
menu is a characteristic for which the chain is particularly known,
32
and one which is employed either to continue by regional food
taboos (such as the religious prohibition of beef consumption in
India) or to make available foods with which the regional market
is more familiar (such as the sale of Mc Rice in Indonesia). There
have been continuous efforts to enhance variety in the menu by
developing more such products.
McDonald's has also re-engineered its operations
repeatedly in its 11 years in India to address the special
requirements of a vegetarian menu. Vegetable products are 100%
vegetarian, They are prepared separately, using dedicated
equipment and utensils. Only pure vegetarian oil is used as a
cooking medium. Cheese and sauces are completely vegetarian
and egg less. Separation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food
products is maintained throughout the various stages of
procurement, cooking and serving.

ANALIYSIS ON MCDONALDS
ADVERTISEMENT AND PUBILE
RELATIONS.

Over the years, McDonald's has developed TV advertising

campaigns that have become, like McDonald's, a part of our lives
and culture. McDonald's commercials have focused not only on
product, but rather on the overall McDonald's experience,
35
portraying warmth and a real slice of every day life. This "image"
or "reputation" advertising has become a trademark of the
company and created many memorable television moments and
themes, including:-

 There's a little McDonald's in Everyone (2001) - Canada Only

McDonald's has for decades maintained an extensive advertising

campaign. In addition to the usual media (television, radio, and
newspaper), the company makes significant use of
billboards(outdoors, on which large advertisements or notices are
posted.) and signage, sponsors sporting events from ranging from
Little League to the Olympic Games, and makes coolers of
orange drink with their logo available for local events of all kinds.
Nonetheless, television has always played a central role in the
company's advertising strategy.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company’s Profit Sharing and Savings Plan for U.S.-

based employees includes a 401(k) feature, a leveraged employee

37
stock ownership (ESOP) feature, and a discretionary employer
profit sharing match. The 401(k) feature allows participants to
make pre-tax contributions that are partly matched from shares
released under the ESOP. The Profit Sharing and Savings Plan
also provides for a discretionary employer profit sharing match at
the end of the year for those eligible participants who have
contributed to the 401(k) feature. All contributions and related
earnings can be invested in several investment alternatives as well
as McDonald’s common stock in accordance with each
participant’s elections. Participants’ contributions to the 401(k)
feature and the discretionary employer match are limited to 20%
investment in McDonald’s common stock. The Company also
maintains certain supplemental benefit t plans that allow
participants to (i) make tax-deferred contributions
and (ii) receive Company-provided allocations that cannot be
made under the Profit Sharing and Savings Plan because of
Internal Revenue Service limitations. The investment alternatives
and returns are based on certain market-rate investment
alternatives under the Profit Sharing and Savings Plan. Total
liabilities were $415.3 million at December 31, 2007 and $378.6
million at December 31, 2006 and were included in other long-
term liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheet. The Company
has entered into derivative contracts to hedge market-driven
changes in certain of the liabilities. At December 31, 2007,
38
derivatives with a fair value of $100.8 million indexed to the
Company’s stock as well as an investment totalling $82.0 million
indexed to certain market indices were included in miscellaneous
other assets in the Consolidated balance sheet. All changes in
liabilities for these nonqualified plans and in the fair value of the
derivatives are recorded in selling, general & administrative
expenses. Changes in fair value of the derivatives indexed to the
Company’s stock are recorded in the income statement because
the contracts provide the counterparty with a choice to settle in
cash or shares.
Total U.S. costs for the Profit Sharing and Savings Plan,
including nonqualified benefits and related hedging activities,
were (in millions): 2007–$57.6; 2006–$60.1; 2005–$58.0. Certain
subsidiaries outside the U.S. also offer profit sharing, stock
purchase or other similar benefit plans. Total plan costs outside
the U.S. were (in millions): 2007–$62.7; 2006–$69.8; 2005–
$54.1. The total combined liabilities for international retirement
plans were $129.4 million and $197.6 million at December 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily in Canada and the U.K.
Other postretirement benefits and post-employment benefits were
immaterial.

 ANALIYSIS ON VALUATION OF
TAX OF MCDONALDS
CORPORATION.

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce

its deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred assets will not be realized. While the
Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing
prudent and feasible tax strategies, including the sale of
appreciated assets, in assessing the need for the valuation

41
allowance, if these estimates and assumptions change in the
future, the Company may be required to adjust its valuation
allowance. This could result in a charge to, or an increase in,
income in the period such determination is made. In addition, the
Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is
subject to audit in these jurisdictions. The Company records
accruals for the estimated outcomes of these audits, and the
accruals may change in the future due to new developments in
each matter. During 2007, the Company recorded a $316 million
benefit as a result of the completion of an IRS examination of the
Company’s 2003-2004 U.S. tax returns. During 2005, the
Company recorded a $179 million benefit due to the completion
of an IRS examination of the Company’s 2000-2002 U.S. tax
returns. The Company’s 2005-2006 U.S. tax returns are under
audit and the completion is expected in late
2008 or early 2009.
Deferred U.S. income taxes have not been recorded for
temporary differences totalling $6.7 billion related to investments
in certain foreign subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures. The
temporary differences consist primarily of undistributed earnings
that are considered permanently invested in operations outside the
U.S. If management’s intentions change in the future, deferred
taxes may need to be provided.

ANALIYSIS ON MCDONALDS
IMPORT- EXPORT.

46
 The business is managed as distinct geographic segments.
Significant reportable segments include the United States (U.S.),
Europe, and Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa (APMEA). In
addition, throughout this report we present “Other Countries &
Corporate” that includes operations in Canada and Latin America,
as well as Corporate activities and certain investments. The U.S.,
Europe and APMEA segments account for 35%, 39% and 16% of
total revenues, respectively. France, Germany and the United
Kingdom (U.K.), collectively, account for approximately 60% of
Europe’s revenues; and Australia, China and Japan a 50%-owned
affiliate accounted for under the equity method), collectively,
account for over 50% of APMEA’s revenues. These six markets
along with the U.S. and Canada are referred to as “major
markets” throughout this report and comprise over 70% of total
revenues. The Company continues to focus its management and
financial resources on the McDonald’s restaurant business as we
believe the opportunities for long-term growth remain signifi
cant. Accordingly, during the third quarter 2007, the Company
sold its investment in Boston Market. In 2006, the Company
disposed of its investment in Chipotle Mexican Grill (Chipotle)
via public stock offerings and a tax-free exchange for
McDonald’s common stock. As a result of the disposals during
2007 and 2006, both Boston Market’s and Chipotle’s results of
operations and transaction gains have been reflected as
47
discontinued operations for all periods presented. In analyzing
business trends, management considers a variety of performance
and financial measures including comparable sales growth,
System wide sales growth, restaurant margins and returns.

• Constant currency results exclude the effects of foreign currency

translation and are calculated by translating current year results at
prior year average exchange rates. Management reviews and
analyzes business results in constant currencies and bases certain
compensation plans on these results because we believe they
better represent the underlying business trends.

• Comparable sales are a key performance indicator used within

the retail industry and are indicative of acceptance of the
Company’s initiatives as well as local economic and consumer
trends. Increases or decreases in comparable sales represent the
percent change in constant currency sales from the same period in
the prior year for all restaurants in operation at least thirteen
months, including those temporarily closed. Some of the reasons
restaurants may be temporarily closed include road construction,
reimaging or remodelling, rebuilding, and natural disasters.
McDonald’s reports on a calendar basis and therefore the
comparability of the same month, quarter and year with the

48
corresponding period of the prior year will be impacted by the
mix of days.
The number of weekdays, weekend days and timing of
holidays in a given timeframe can have a positive or negative
impact on comparable sales. The Company refers to this impact
as the calendar shift/trading day adjustment. This impact varies
geographically due to consumer spending patterns and has the
greatest impact on monthly comparable sales. Typically, the
annual impact is minimal, with the exception of leap years.
• System wide sales include sales at all restaurants, whether
operated by the Company, by franchisees or by affiliates. While
sales by franchisees and affiliates are not recorded as revenues by
the Company, management believes the information is important
in understanding the Company’s financial performance because it
is the basis on which the Company calculates and records
franchised and affiliated revenues and is indicative of the
financial health of our franchisee base.
