Create a Park class. Include the following seven data members:

Name of Park

Location

Type of Park (National, State or Local)

Fee

Number of Employees

Number of visitors reported for the past 12 months

Annual Budget

Write your __init__ class

In addition write four separate instance methods that:

Return a string containing the name of the park, the location and type of park.

Computes the cost per visitor based on annual budget, and the number of visitors during the last 12 months.

Computes the revenue from fees for the past year based on number of visitors and fee.

Prints the values of all of the data members with appropriate labels.

Create a second class to test all aspects of your Park class.

Jameson’s hotel group prepares published accounts on a quarterly basis. The senior management is reviewing the performance of one of the hotels in the group and making plans for 2018/19. They have in front of them the results for 2017/18 (based on actual results for the first two quarters and forecasts to the end of the year).

Quarter Sales Profit/(loss)
1 400,000 (280,000)

2 1,200,000 360,000

3 1,600,000 680,000

4 800,000 40,000

The total estimated number of visitors (guest nights) for 2017/18 is 50,000. The results follow a regular pattern, with no unexpected cost fluctuations beyond the seasonal trading pattern. Management intend to add to their plans for 2018/19 an anticipated increase in unit variable costs of 10% and a profit target for the hotel of $1 million.

Required: (a) Determine the total variable and total fixed costs of the hotel for 2017/18, by using both a PV chart and by calculation. (b) i. If there is no increase in visitors for 2018/19, what will be the required revenue rate per hotel visitor to meet the profit target? ii. If the required revenue rate per visitor is not raised above the 2018/19 level, how many visitors are required to meet the profit target? (c) Outline and briefly discuss the assumptions underlying the accountants’ typical PV or break-even analysis and assess whether they limit its usefulness.

Note: In order to achieve full marks for this question it is essential that you fully explain what you are doing, why you are doing it and the steps involved in providing a final solution.

Hotel Fawlty Towers is (as expected) not doing so well. In total, there are fixed joint costs of 4,800,000 (converted to SEK) per year. On average, you have separate income (= sales price) of SEK 1200 per guest per night. The special cost for each guest and night is 180 SEK. In total, there are 3100 overnight guests per year but a capacity of 6500 per year. The worst is during the weekends where you only have 120 overnight guests per year (included in the 3100 guests per year). Now the hotel owner, Basil, has been on a course in Revenue Management and learned there that you should put a lower price on the weekends to fill the hotel better. Together with the regular guest and strategist Major Gowen, Basil estimates that if the price per guest and night is set to SEK 700, the number of overnight stays at weekends will increase to 350 per year and if the price is set to SEK 500, the number of overnight stays at weekends will be a total of 800 per year. The price during other days does not change, nor the number of guests.

SEK = Swedish kronor. Although hotels and people are taken from the English series "Pang in the building", we are based on Swedish conditions regarding VAT rate and currency.

a)Should you lower the price on weekends? If so to SEK 700 or SEK 500? Show total results for the different options and compare with not lowering the weekend price! (6p)


b) In order to obtain additional revenue, you plan to sell various small items at the reception. Basil has heard that the gross profit margin for these goods should be 60%. What then is the selling price of a toothbrush the hotel buys for 8,00 SEK? Don't forget to add VAT with a 25% surcharge!
