1. Annual Room Revenue = Number of Rooms * Occupancy Rate * ADR * Number of days in a year
= 335 * 66.6% * 117.98 * 365
= $9,607,719
2. Royalty Fee = Room Revenue * 5%
= 9,607,719 * 5%
= $480,386
3. Reservation Fee = Number of Available Rooms * Rate * Number of Months
= 335 * 7.65 * 12
= $30,753
4. Advertising Fee = Room Revenue * 2.3%
= 9,607,719 * 2.3%
= $220,977.54
5. Frequent Traveller Fee = Number of Rooms * Occupancy Rate * Frequent Guest Occupancy * Rate * Number of Days
= 335 * 66.6% * 6% * 5 * 365
= $24,430.55
6. Initial Fee = 45,000 + [300*(335-150)]
= 45,000 + [300 * 185]
= 45,000 + 55,500
= $100,500
7. Total Franchise Fee = 480,386 + 30,753 + 220,977.54 + 24,430.55
= $756,547
8. Total Franchise Fee on PAR Basis = Total Franchise Fee / Number of Available Rooms
= 756,547 / 335
= $2,258.35
9. Franchise fee as a % of Revenue = Total Franchise Fee / Annual Room Revenue * 100
= 756,547 / 9,607,719 * 100
= 7.87%
Note: It is assumed that franchise fee includes all on going costs and does no include initial fee paid. However, if the same is considered to be a part of the franchise fee, it should be included and all the subsequent transactions will vary.
