Sophie Bradford is the manager of Anthem's traditional Sunday​ Flicks, sponsored by the Anthem Student Association. The admission price is deliberately set at a very low $ 3.5. Each​ Sunday, a film has two showings and a maximum of 1,600 tickets can be sold for each showing. The rental of the auditorium is $ 280 and labor is $455​,including $120 for Bradford.Bradford must pay the film distributor a​ guarantee, ranging from $ 270 to $ 800, or 40% of gross admission​ receipts, whichever is higher. Before and during the​ show, she sells​ refreshments; these sales average 10% of gross admission receipts and yield a contribution margin of 50 %.

Requirement 1: On June 3, Bradford screened The Descendants. The film grossed $10,500. The guarantee to the distributor was $700 or 40% of gross admission receipts, whichever is larger. What operating income was produced for the student association.

Requirement 2: Recompute the results if the film grossed $1,400

Requirement 3: The​ "four-wall" concept is increasingly being adopted by movie producers. In this​ plan, the​ movie's producer pays a guaranteed fixed rental to the theater owner​ for, say, a​ week's showing of a movie and the producer receives the ticket receipts less the fixed rental. As a theater​ owner, how would you evaluate a​ "four-wall" offer?

Wilson and Sons Corp. has bought a prime parcel of beachfront property and plans to build a luxury hotel. After meeting with the architectural team, the Wilson family has drawn up some information to make preliminary plans for construction. Excluding the suites, which are not part of this decision, the hotel will have four kinds of rooms: beachfront non-smoking, beachfront smoking, lagoon view non-smoking, and lagoon view smoking. In order to decide how many of each of the four kinds of rooms to plan for, the Wilson family will consider the following information.

• After adjusting for expected occupancy, the average nightly revenue for a beachfront non-smoking room is $175. The average nightly revenue for a lagoon view non-smoking room is $130. Smokers will be charged an extra $15.
• Construction costs vary. The cost estimate for a lagoon view room is $12,000 and for a beachfront room is $15,000. Air purifying systems and additional smoke detectors and sprinklers add $3000 to the cost of any smoking room. Wilson and Sons Corp. has raised $6.3 million in construction guarantees for this portion of the building.
• There will be at least 100 but no more than 180 beachfront rooms.
• Design considerations require that the number of lagoon view rooms be at least 50% more than beachfront rooms but no more than 150% of beachfront rooms.
• Industry trends recommend that the number of non-smoking rooms be at least 50% more the number of smoking rooms.

Hotel Occupancy

The Hotel has 8 Floors and 30 rooms on each floor. Create an application that calculates the occupancy rate for each floor, and the overall occupancy rate for the hotel. The occupancy rate is the percentage of rooms occupied, and may be calculated by dividing the number of rooms occupied by the number of rooms.

For example, if 18 rooms on the 1^st floor are occupied, the Occupancy Rate is as follows:

18/30=0.6 or 60%

For the Overall Occupancy Rate, using the above example,

18/(8*30)=0.075 or 7.5%

Another example for Overall Occupancy Rate:

If 1^st floor, 18 rooms occupied.

2^nd floor, 30 rooms occupied, then the calculation is:

(18+30) /(8*30)   or (18+30)/240 =0.2 or 20%

You will need to use Name Constants for Rooms (30 rooms), and Floors (8 floors).

Some variables and Constants you will need to declare in class level to do the Overall Total and Overall Occupancy Rate calculation.

Some variables you will need to use in the local level.

The application’s form should appear similar to the one shown below.

In the form load event handler, use a loop to populate floor 1 to 8 in combo box. (Do NOT create floor 1 to 8 at design time using the Items property)

On startup, “Select the floor” combo box should default to floor 1. Each time the user enters the occupancy for a single floor and clicks the Save button, the floor number in the Drop-Down List ComboBox should increment automatically (just add 1 to its SelectedIndex property), and a new line should appear in the ListBox with the percentage occupancy. Also, the contents of the TextBox at the top of the form should clear automatically when the user clicks the Save button, so the user does not accidentally enter the same data twice in a row.

The Restart button should clear all the appropriate controls on the form. “Select the floor” combo box should default to floor 1.

The Exit button should end the application.

The Save button should do all input validation and all other calculations. (Do NOT use a loop in the btnSave_click event handler)

Input Validation: Be sure to check for a non-integer value in TextBox using the Integer.TryParse method and notify the user if there is an error. Since each floor has only 30 rooms, you need to do the range check to prevent user enter a value is greater than 30 or a negative number. A zero is allowed to input since it may have no occupancy for the whole floor.

Use the values below to confirm that your application is performing the correct calculations.

Use access key for all buttons’ control.   

Georges Hotel has the following sales procedures: The hotel uses duplicated and pre-numbered guest checks to record customers’ orders; the manager is in charge of monitoring the guest checks. She stores them in a storage container which is kept locked until she is ready to issue them to the servers. At the beginning of each shift, the manager issues the guest checks to the servers and records the amount given to each person on a blank sheet of paper. The server takes the order from the customers and records the information on the guest checks. She then presents the kitchen with one copy of the guest check for them to prepare the order and she keeps the other copy to be handed in at the end of the shift. The server informs the cashier of the order by word of mouth. In the event that there were any errors during the shift, servers are allowed to destroy the guest checks.

1. Identify three problems in the sales procedure of the Hotel, explain how they could be detrimental and suggest a control procedure that could be used to address each problem

2. Name three key personnel normally involved in a Hotel’s front office accounting functions. Of the three, chose one and briefly describe their role.

Consider the following gas-phase reaction:

C₂H₂(g) + 4 Cl₂(g) 2 CCl₄(g) + H₂(g)

Using data from Appendix C of your textbook calculate the temperature, T_o, at which this reaction will be at equilibrium under standard conditions (G^o = 0) and choose whether >G^o will increase, decrease, or not change with increasing temperature from the pulldown menu.

T_o = K, and G^o will

why have oligopoly tech firms ( microsoft, apple) with near monopolies in their own sectors sought to compete with tech firms that have extremely strong, near monopoly positions in other sectors. Does this defy game theory or support it? Explain
