Abstract: | A business format franchisor obtains a major part of its revenues from franchise royalties, which are typically a fixed percentage of franchisee gross sales. When a fixed royalty rate is used and the marginal costs of operating the franchise are increasing, the franchise does not have an incentive to increase sales beyond a certain "optimal" volume. The authors present a model that recommends the use of a variable franchise royalty rate for extending this optimal sales volume. |
