A financial institution has the following options for investing funds to a basket of asset consisting of fixed income security, bond and highly risky asset. The distributions given below are the two investment options in terms of their return and its associated probability. We define that the profit= 0.9*return – expense.  

We also assume that the expense for Option A is $1 million and the expense for Option B is $1.8 million.

The Tower Hotel has two operating departments: Rooms and F&B. 69% of the hotel’s total revenue is earned from room sales and the remaining revenue is earned from F&B sales. Rooms department’s contribution margin ratio is 65% and F&B department’s contribution margin ratio is 54%. If the fixed cost of the hotel is $411,206, and the management is targeting a before-tax profit of $146,476, what is the required sales revenue? (Rounded to whole numbers)

A hotel is looking to replace its outdated alarm system to comply with safety standards. It has two options: System A costs $35,000 and lasts nine years. System B costs $22,000 and lasts six years. Maintenance throughout the year will cost $2,000 for System A and $3000 for System B, recognized at the end of each year. The hotel’s cost of capital is 10%. Which alarm system should the hotel choose? (Please Show work and explain answer)

Case Study based question of 20 Marks (Total).
From her experience, she knew that one way to do this was to help her employees have successful and satisfying careers, and she was therefore concerned to find that the Hotel Paris had no career management process at all. Supervisors weren t trained to discuss employees developmental needs or promotional options during the performance appraisal interviews. Promotional processes were informal.
Lisa Cruz knew that as a hospitality business, the Hotel Paris was uniquely dependent upon having committed, high-morale employees. In a factory or small retail shop, the employer might be able to rely on direct supervision to make sure that the employees were doing their jobs. But in a hotel,
just about every employee is on the front line. There is usually no one there to supervise the limousine driver when he or she picks up a guest at the airport, or when the valet takes the guest s car, or the front-desk clerk signs the guest in, or the housekeeping clerk needs to handle a guest s specialrequest.
If the hotel wanted satisfied guests, they had to have committed employees who did their jobs as if they owned the company, even when the supervisor was nowhere in sight. But for the employees to be committed, Lisa knew the Hotel Paris had to make it clear that the company was alsocommitted to its employees. And the firm did not attempt to provide any career development services that might help its employees to develop a better understanding of what their career options were,
or should be. Lisa was sure that committed employees were the key to improving the experiences of its guests, and that she couldn t boost employee commitment without doing a better job of attending to her employees career needs.
For Lisa and the CFO, preliminary research left little doubt about the advisability of instituting a new career management system at the Hotel Paris. The CFO therefore gave the go-ahead to design and institute a new Hotel Paris career management program. Lisa and her team knew that they
already had some of the building blocks in place, thanks to the new performance management system they had instituted just a few weeks earlier (as noted in the previous
chapter). For example, the new performance management system required that the supervisor appraise the employee based on goals and competencies that were driven by the company s strategic needs, and the appraisal itself produced new goals for the coming year and specific development plans for the employee.
Questions
6) Many hotel jobs are inherently dead end ; for example, maids, laundry workers, and valets either have no great aspirations to move up, or are just using these jobs temporarily, for instance, to help out with household expenses. First, do you agree with this statement why, or why not?
Second, list three specific career activities you would recommend Lisa implement for these employees.

Please note that for all problems in this course, the standard cut-off (alpha) for a test of significance will be .05, and you always report the exact power unless SPSS output states p=.000 (you’d report p<.001). Also, remember that we divide the p value in half when reporting one-tailed tests with 1 – 2 groups.

Problem Set 2: (8 pts)

Research Scenario: Does distraction and/or amount of details affect the ability of people to make good decisions? In this fictitious scenario, researchers used a within-subjects design. Participants (N=15) were given four different scenarios based on amount of details (4 or 14) and distraction level (no distraction or distraction), and were asked to make an objective decision at the end of each scenario. Objective decision was the dependent variable and was quantified numerically using an interval scale of measurement. Each participant provided four objective decisions – one for each condition.

Assume the data is parametric. Select and conduct the most appropriate statistical test to determine whether distraction and/or amount of details affect people’s ability to make good decisions. Hint: since this is within subjects, each level for each factor will have its own column of data, so you will have 4 columns of 15 rows of data in your SPSS data view. You will analyze two factors (“Distraction” and “Details”) and each factor has 2 levels. Please label your columns “NoDistract4”, “NoDistract14”, “Distract4”, and “Distract14”.
