Explanation / Answer

1 ) Required sales in dollars = [Fixed cost + traget profit] / C/M ratio

        = [$9000 + 0 ] / 0.50

= $9000 / 0.50

= $18000

Note:- C/M ratio = [sales - variable cost] / sales

   = [10 - 5 ]/ 10

   = 5 / 10

   = 50%

2 ) Required sales in dollars = [Fixed cost + traget profit] / C/M ratio

= [$9000 + $25500 ] / 0.50

= $34500 / 0.50

= $69000

3)   Since the predicated monthly sales of $71500 are greater than the amount of sales necessary to generate the minimum monthly operating income of $25500, Low's franchise concept seems to be a good idea.
