Recommendation: Investing in McDonald’s industry is a decent option that Blue Sky Portfolio Management can take in to consideration. Analysis: In McDonalds it can be seen that operating margin is increasing in the past two years.

High operating margin shows that McDonald is earning more per dollar of sales that is more favourable compare to similar corporations. However, operating margin include McDonalds ordinary business operations and excludes other revenue, losses and liabilities.

Therefore, the total equity or liability of the company need to change to match the increasing total asset.

...The Asian financial crisis (sometimes referred to as the "Tom Yum Gung crisis" after the Thai hot-and-sour soup) started with the devaluation of Thailand’s Bath, which took place on July 2, 1997. This first devaluation of the Thai Baht was soon followed by that of the Philippine Peso, the Malaysian Ringgit, the Indonesian Rupiah and, to a lesser extent, the Singaporean Dollar. What began as a currency crisis soon affected the wider economy and led to economic downturns in other countries in the region. The Asian-Pacific economies known as Asian “tigers” were the most affected. Three of the countries: Thailand, South Korea, and Indonesia, had to seek bailout assistance from the International Monetary Fund because of the desperate balance of payments associated with the crisis. This paper was aimed to focus on the financial crisis in THAILAND and provide an insight thought on some of the related issues. Pre-Crisis (1980s-1996) Prior to 1997, Thailand had been one of the Southeast Asia’s outstanding performers. Prudent macroeconomic management, including cautious fiscal policies, a non-inflationary monetary policy and a closely monitored fixed exchange rate system, was key to Thailand‘s economic success in the 1980s and early 1990s. Thailand’s real economic growth increased from about 6 percent per year in 1976-1985 to above 8 percent in 1986-1995. At its peak in 1988-1990, growth averaged 12 percent per year (Coxhead and Plangpraphan, n.d.). World trade...

...those switching from higher priced restaurants to quick-service restaurants has been balanced by the number of individuals who opt to eat at home to decrease their costs of eating out. Further, costs for quick-service restaurants have increased. According to Standard and Poor’s (2012), increases in food and paper costs this past year, have resulted in lower operating margins as restaurants are assuming the costs rather than increasing the cost of food for consumers. According to Jim Yin (n.d.), CFA, “Year to date through February 17, the S&P Restaurants Index was up 4.4% versus an 8.7% increase for the S&P 1500 Index. In 2011, the sub-industry index outperformed the 1500, with a gain of 27.9% versus a 0.3% decline.” Financial Position of McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) is the leader in global foodservice retail with more than 33,000 restaurants worldwide and 1.7 million employees in 119 countries (“McDonald’s Corporation”, 2012). Approximately 68 million people eat at McDonald’s each day (“McDonald’s Corporation”, 2012). With international growth and globalization on the rise for many quick service restaurants, such as Starbucks and Yum!, McDonald’s Corporation has also taken advantage of worldwide global growth.
