Lifetime Escapes generates average revenue of $7 970 per person on its 7-day package tours to wildlife parks in Zimbabwe. The variable costs per person are as follows:

Annual fixed costs total $400 000.

Required:

1. Calculate the number of package tours that must be sold to break even.
2. Calculate the revenue needed to earn a target profit of $100 000. (1 mark)
3. If fixed costs increase by $19 000, what decrease in variable cost per person must be achieved to maintain the break-even point calculated in requirement 1?
4. The general manager at Lifetime Escapes proposes to increase the price of the package tour to $8500 to decrease the break-even point in units. Using information in the original problem, calculate the new break-even point in units. What factors should the general manager consider before deciding to increase the price of the package tour? (3marks)

Investment Timing Option: Decision-Tree Analysis Kim Hotels is interested in developing a new hotel in Seoul. The company estimates that the hotel would require an initial investment of $22 million. Kim expects the hotel will produce positive cash flows of $3.74 million a year at the end of each of the next 20 years. The project's cost of capital is 12%.

What is the project's net present value? A negative value should be entered with a negative sign. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places. $ million

Seong Hotels is interested in developing a new hotel is Seoul. The initial investment of the project is $20 million, but cashflows could differ if the government imposes a hotel tax. There is a 60% chance a hotel tax will be imposed and cash flows would be $2 million per year for 20 years. However, there is a 40% chance there will not be a tax imposed so cash flows would be $4 million per year for 20 years. They will not know if the tax will be imposed until next year. What is the project's expected NPV if they wait and implement the project one year from now? Cost of capital is 10%.

Developing an Equation from Average Costs The America Dog and Cat Hotel is a pet hotel located in Las Vegas. Assume that in March, when dog-days (occupancy) were at an annual low of 500, the average cost per dog-day was $14. In July, when dog-days were at a capacity level of 4,000, the average cost per dog-day was $7. (a) Develop an equation for monthly operating costs. (Let X = dog-days per month) Total cost = Answer + Answer * X (b) Determine the average cost per dog-day at an annual volume of 24,000 dog-days.

​(Replacement chains​) Destination Hotels currently owns an older hotel on the best beachfront property on Hilton Head​ Island, and it is considering either remodeling the hotel or tearing it down and building a new convention​ hotel, but because both hotels would occupy the same physical​ location, the company can only choose one project-that ​is, these are mutually exclusive projects. Both of these projects have the same initial outlay of $ 1,800,000. The first​ project, since it is a remodel of an existing​ hotel, has an expected life of 9 years and will provide free cash flows of $ 400,000 at the end of each year for all 9 years. In​ addition, this project can be repeated at the end of 9 years at the same cost and with the same set of future cash flows. The proposed new convention hotel has an expected life of 18 years and will produce cash flows of $ 280,000 per year. The required rate of return on both of these projects is 9 percent. Calculate the NPV using replacement chains to compare these two projects.

Consider the following hypothetical scenario: The city council has just approved the construction of an amusement park in your town. You are responsible for studying the impact of the new amusement park on the local economy and the surrounding community. Write a paper of approximately 500 words that addresses all of the questions below. Include the graphs, where indicated: o Question 1: You know that the amusement park will increase the traffic flow in the streets around the amusement park. There are both businesses and neighborhoods adjacent to the increased traffic flow. The cost to the community is estimated to be $6 per person.  What kind of externality is this? Why? o Graph the market for amusement park business, labeling the demand curve, the social-value curve, the market equilibrium level of output, and the socially optimal level of output.  What is the per-unit amount of the externality? o Question 2. You know that the amusement park will have events in the evening. This will increase both foot traffic and street traffic at night. You believe this will improve the safety of the surrounding businesses, with an estimated benefit of $2 per park attendee. What kind of externality is this? Why? o Question 3 Create a new graph illustrating the market for amusement park business for these two externalities together. Label the demand curve, the social-value curve, the market equilibrium level of output, and the final socially optimal level of output.  What is the per-unit amount when both externalities are considered?  Discuss both government and private solutions that would result in an socially optimal outcome.

Although there are a variety of definitions for this group, Baby Boomers are typically considered the generation that were born following World War II baby boom. It is generally agreed that the group consists of individuals born between the 1940s to the early 1960s.

With this in mind, do a little research and post statistics about the baby boomer generation. As always, please remember to post your sources.
