Operating costs average $60,000 per day, regardless of the number of rooms rented. Construct a spreadsheet model to determine the profit if 60 rooms are rented. The manager has observed that the number of rooms rented during any given day varies between 50 and 80 (the total number of rooms available).

a.Use data tables to evaluate the profit for this range of unit rentals.
