Variable Costs: Cleaning Supplies $1,920 Linen Service $13,920 ½ Misc Expenses $3,657 $19,497 (Total Variable Cost)

Variable Cost per Occupied Room Night: = =$2.54.
Contribution Margin: Average Revenue = = $20.94 Contribution Margin = Revenue – Variable Cost = $20.94 – $2.54 = 18.40.

Fixed Costs: = Total Costs – Variable Costs = $138,410 - $19,497 = $118,913.

Break Even: =. Per night: = = 54 rooms.

54 rooms on average (or 67.3% occupancy) must be rented each night in season for the hotel to break even.

2. The hotel is full on weekends in the ski season. If all room rates were raised to $5 on weekend nights, but occupancy fell to 72 rooms instead of 80, what is the revised profit before taxes for the year, per Exhibit 1?

Subtracted Contribution Margin: Weekend nights = 120 * = 34 Subtracted CM = 8 rooms * 34 weekend nights * $18.40 = $5,005.
Added Contribution Margin: = 72 rooms * 34 weekend nights * $5.00 = $12,240.

Net Change in Contribution Margin: = $12,240 - $5,005 = $7,235 added profit before tax.

Revised Profit before tax: = $22,390 + $7,235 = $29,625

3. What is the proposed incremental contribution margin per occupied room/day during the off-season?

Cleaning Supplies = = = 0.25 per room occupied.

Linen Service Equivalent Days: Singles: ( * 1 * 7,680) = 1,536. Doubles: ( * 2 * 7,680) = 12,288 13, 824 Total Linen Cost = = 1.01 per equivalent day per single room (20% occupancy) 2.02 per double room (80% occupancy)

Misc. Expenses (room supplies) ($7,314 * 0.5) / 7,680 = $0.48 per occupied room

Revenues Single = $10, and Double = $15

Contribution Margin:
Single: $10 – (0.25 + 1.01 + 0.48) = $10 - $1.74 = $8.26
Double: $15 – (0.25 + 2.02 + 0.48) = $15 - $2.75 = $12.25

    First observation was the demand curve with the current rental rate and the quantity demanded. The second observation was the change in the quantity demanded and the vacancy rate when there is a particular rental rate. The decision to be made was the monthly rental rate for two-bedroom rental apartments on temporary leases. The Property Manager needed to bring the vacancy rate from 28 percent to 15 percent and to maximize the revenue. To start, the vacancy rate was at 40 percent, revenue was 1.56 (in millions), surplus 800, quantity demanded 1,200 and rental rate $1,300. The vacancy rate down to 15 percent, the following changed: revenue was 1.79 (in millions), surplus 300, quantity demanded 1,700 and rental rate $1,050. Although the appropriate rental rate was selected to reduce the vacancy rate, the revenue was not maximized. In the end the revenue could have been increased by lowering both the rental and the vacancy…

    Throughout 2011, the one bedroom apartment was rented for a total of 63 nights, the lowest of all the available bedrooms available. After assessing the spreadsheet, the low profitability of this bedroom is due to the low average number of nights per booking. At 4.5, the average stay in this bedroom is very low compared to other rooms. Discounts of 15% are applied if booking is for more than 6 nights which does not affect this room’s profitability a great deal as the average stay is under the 6 night 15% discount offer. Nevertheless, takings on this room are lower than any other room before even considering these discounts as the rooms would be targeted to shorter stay leases which reduces total profit potentials. Also eating into profits are the expenses incurred for cleaning the apartment ($40) after each resident has vacated. The higher turnover of occupants means that cleaning expenses for this room total a higher amount than any other room.…
