    a) Break-even sales (BEP) = $15,750

    b) Yes, the franchise is good because the $63,000 sales that be generated by most locations is higher than the minimum sales revenue of $36,000 required to achieve the the target profit

    Explanation:

    a)

    Contribution margin ratio = (sales-variable cost/sale) * 100

    Break - even sales (BEP) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin ratio

    CMR = (10.50 - 6.30) / 6.30 = 66.7%

    BEP = 10,500/66.7% = $15,750

    b)

    To generate a minimum operating income of $13,500, the franchisee will need to make sales worth:

    Sales revenue to achieve pre-determined income = (Fixed cost + Target income) / CMR

    = (10,500. + 13,500) / 0.667

    = $36,000

    Yes the franchise is good because the $63,000 sales that be generated by most locations is higher than the minimum sales revenue of $36,000 required to achieve the the target profit
