    Mcdonald's Strategic Prospects

    With more than 31,000 restaurants in 118 countries and serving nearly 60 million consumers daily, McDonald’s (MCD) has grown to be the largest food service merchant worldwide. It is because of this that McDonald’s ranks higher than both Burger King Holdings (BKC) and Yum! Foods Inc. (Yum) in just about every category of the Competitive Profile Matrix (CPM). The 2008 year end numbers show that McDonald’s revenue of $22.99 billion doubled that of Yum and more surprisingly almost ten times the revenue of Burger King. Yum ended the year with a net income of $928 million, which sounds like a good year until you see that MCD’s year netted $4.35 billion (David, 2011).…

    Role of the Federal Reserve System in Designing and Implementing US Monetary Policies

    This week’s reading material proved to be very informative as well as eye opening. There was a lot of information covered concerning the Federal Reserve System that we all found to be very interesting. According to (Colander, 2010), “Money is a highly liquid financial asset that serves as a unit of account, a medium of exchange, and a store of wealth,” before this class we never really looked at money in this manner. We all know that money can be used in many ways for many things, but before this class we never really stop to ponder the role of the Federal Reserve System and the part it plays in implementing U.S. monetary policies.…

    U.S. Monetary Policy and What the Federal Reserve

    According to the Congressional Budget Office monetary policy is, "The strategy of influencing movements of the money supply and interest rates to affect output and inflation. An "easy" monetary policy suggests faster growth of the money supply and initially lower short-term interest rates in an attempt to increase aggregate demand, but it may lead to a higher rate of inflation. A "tight" monetary policy suggests slower growth of the money supply and higher interest rates in the near term in an attempt to reduce inflationary pressure by lowering aggregate demand." In the United States it is the Federal Reserve System that is responsible for defining and implementing these policies. In the United States the Federal Reserve is made up of a Board of Governors, which consists of seven members, all of whom are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Of these seven, the president appoints one to be chairman of the Board of Governors. The current chairman of the United States Federal Reserve is Alan Greenspan.…
