Devos Inc. is building a hotel. It will have 4 kinds of rooms: suites where customers can smoke, suites that are non-smoking, budget rooms where the customers can smoke, and budget rooms that are non-smoking. When we build the hotel, we need to plan for how many rooms of each type we should have. The following are requirements for the hotel:

1. We want to figure out how many rooms of each type to build based on maximizing revenue if we fill up the hotel. We expect to charge $190 for a suite that is non-smoking and $140 for a budget room that is non-smoking. Smoking room customers for both suites and budget rooms will have to pay an additional $20 per night.
2. We can spend up to $7,500,000 on construction of our hotel. The cost to build a non-smoking budget room is $12,000. The cost to build a non-smoking suite is $15,000. It is $3,000 additional for a smoking room of either type for smoke detectors and sprinklers.
3. We require that the number of budget rooms be at least 1.5 times the number of suites, but no more than 3 the number of suites.
4. There needs to be at least 80 suites, but no more than 200.
5. Industry trends recommend that smoking rooms should be less than 50% of the non-smoking room and in addition, we require our builder gives us at least 4 smoking rooms.

Springfield Acting Co. is a professional actor training group that trains stage actors and is headquartered in Los Angeles. The CEO of the company, Milhouse Van Houton, is considering expanding and opening an office in New York City but he just received an interesting business opportunity in the San Francisco area to partner with a movie production company located there. Milhouse knows he can only accept one of these opportunities at the current time. He has already purchased his non-refundable ticket to New York, but his hotel reservation is still cancelable. The cost of each trip is outlined below.

Required:

1. What are the relevant costs of each trip?
2. What is the incremental cost?
3. Without considering qualitative factors (thus use numbers to analyze), which alternative should Milhouse choose? Why?
4. What are two qualitative factors that Milhouse might consider?

Case 2 (Special Order)

While Jurassic World is filled to capacity with tourists most of the year, the theme park experiences a lower number of customers during September and October. This is due to the fact that September and October are “rainy season” in Jurassic World’s location—the island of Isla Nublar, off the coast of Costa Rica.

To celebrate their sponsorship of the Pepsisaurus and the Tostidodon, PepsiCo is interested in holding a 3-day, 2-night corporate retreat for 5,000 of its employees at Jurassic world during September. PepsiCo has told Claire that they would pay Jurassic World $200 per employee. This would provide each employee with three days of park admission, three days of meal and drink vouchers, and two nights of lodging. Additionally, PepsiCo wants Jurassic World to treat its employees to behind-the-scenes tours of the park, which would cost a total of $50,000 to plan and facilitate. Due to the timing of the retreat, Jurassic World has ample capacity to host PepsiCo’s employees.

Claire knows that Jurassic World normally charges $850 per person for a 3-day, 2-night admission, lodging, and meal/drink vacation package. The per person cost for this package is 670, as shown below:

Most of the overhead is the fixed cost of running the theme park, and goes towards marketing, administration, dinosaur bioengineering, customer service, grounds keeping and maintenance, dinosaur food, raptor training, and disaster control. However, $35 is variable with respect to the number of customers in the theme park.

4. Determine the incremental revenue to Jurassic World if Claire accepts PepsiCo’s request. (1 point for the correct answer in the shaded box)

5. Determine the incremental cost to Jurassic World if Claire accepts PepsiCo’s request. (1 point for the correct answer in the shaded box)

6. Should Claire accept PepsiCo’s offer? Circle One. (1 point for the correct answer)

YES                                     NO

1. A single community is comprised of just three voters i = {1, 2, 3}, each of whom have differing tastes for public parks, as described by the following three demand functions.

q₁ = 100 – 2p

q₂ = 110 – 2p

q₃ = 126 – 2p  

(a)        Public parks are a local public good. Assuming that the marginal cost to society,

mc^s, of providing each unit of park space is $90, what is the socially optimal quantity of parks? Provide a graph with your answer. Please show all of your work. 3pt

(b)        Assume that the price tag for each unit of park is split evenly across the community

members so that the marginal cost to each member is just $30. At this price, what is

each member’s optimal quantity of park space? Is there unanimity across the three individuals regarding the desired level of park space? 3pt

(c)        Using Lindahl pricing (aka Lindahl taxing), what price schedule would guarantee unanimous agreement across all three members and would also yield a socially optimal outcome? Please show your work. 3pt

2. Please refer back to Q1 when answering the following questions.

(a)        Draw each individual’s demand curve for park space. Then calculate each person’s

consumer surplus at each of the three optimal quantities. Please show your work. 3pt

                        Hint: remember that each person must pay $30 per unit of park space consumed.

(b)        Using the consumer surplus calculations from Q2(a), fill in the following table by

assigning a rank to each person’s park space options. 3pt    

(c)        In a political environment with direct democracy through majority rule, which of the

three park space alternatives will consistently win a series of pair-wise votes? 3pt

d) Is the winning option aligned with what would be predicted by the median voter

            theorem? Is this outcome socially optimal? Explain why or why not. 3pt
