Hanson Inn is a 96-room hotel located near the airport and convention center in Louisville, Kentucky. When a convention or a special event is in town, Hanson increases its normal room rates and takes reservations based on a revenue management system. The Classic Corvette Owners Association scheduled its annual convention in Louisville for the first weekend in June. Hanson Inn agreed to make at least 50% of its rooms available for convention attendees at a special convention rate in order to be listed as a recommended hotel for the convention. Although the majority of attendees at the annual meeting typically request a Friday and Saturday two-night package, some attendees may select a Friday night only or a Saturday night only reservation. Customers not attending the convention may also request a Friday and Saturday two-night package, or make a Friday night only or Saturday night only reservation. Thus, six types of reservations are possible: convention customers/two-night package; convention customers/Friday night only; convention customers/Saturday night only; regular customers/two-night package; regular customers/Friday night only; and regular customers/Saturday night only.

The cost for each type of reservation is shown here:

Two-Night
Package
Friday Night
Only
Saturday Night
Only
Convention $225 $123 $130
Regular $295 $146 $152

The anticipated demand for each type of reservation is as follows:

Two-Night
Package
Friday Night
Only
Saturday Night
Only
Convention 40 20 15
Regular 20 30 25

Hanson Inn would like to determine how many rooms to make available for each type of reservation in order to maximize total revenue.

  1. Define the decision variables and state the objective function. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.
    Let CT = number of convention two-night rooms
    CF = number of convention Friday only rooms
    CS = number of convention Saturday only rooms
    RT = number of regular two-night rooms
    RF = number of regular Friday only rooms
    RS = number of regular Saturday only room
    Max CT + CF + CS + RT + RF + RS
  2. Formulate a linear programming model for this revenue management application. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. If the constant is "1" it must be entered in the box.
    Max CT + CF + CS + RT + RF + RS
    S.T.
    1) CT <
    2) CF <
    3) CS <
    4) RT <
    5) RF <
    6) RS <
    7) CT + CF
    8) CT + CS
    9) CT + CF + RT + RF
    10) CT + CS + RT + RS
    11) CT, CF, CS, RT, RF, RS 0
  3. What are the optimal allocation and the anticipated total revenue? Round your answers to the nearest whole number.
    Variable Value
    CT
    CF
    CS
    RT
    RF
    RS

    Total Revenue = $  
  4. Suppose that one week before the convention the number of regular customers/Saturday night only rooms that were made available sell out. If another nonconvention customer calls and requests a Saturday night only room, what is the value of accepting this additional reservation? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

    The dual value for constraint 10 shows an added profit of $   if this additional reservation is accepted.

ABC hotel has 200 rooms and has a policy to determine its room rates based on consumers capacity to pay. For example busniess clients pay $1,200 per night and group tours $900 per night. The incremental cost of servicing a room is worked out at $110 per room. On average, most guest stay for three (3) nights. Rooms division manager is trying to establish if four (4) week advance reservation should be taken for a group booking of 40 rooms and three (3) nights of 7th , 8th and 9th June 2018. According to the reservation record, 80 rooms for the three (3) nights of 7th , 8th , and 9th , June 2018 are already booked by various business clients, and the historical trends of the past four (4) years suggest that 90% of the remaing 120 rooms would be sold to other busniess clients. Your are required to b) In the highly competitive environment, tourism and hospitality busniess can aspire to optimise revenue for the long term survival. Discuss " one pricing strategy " and its effect on tourism and hospitality businesses as a whole focus on the pricing strategy in tourism and hospitality business and highlight their strengths and weaknesses as reported in the published literature.

The restaurant at the Hotel Galaxy offers two choices for breakfast: an all-you-can-eat buffet and an a la carte option, where diners can order from the menu. The buffet option has a budgeted meal price of $45. The a la carte option has a budgeted average price of $34 for a meal. The restaurant manager expects that 40 percent of its diners will order the buffet option. The buffet option has a budgeted variable cost of $25 and the a la carte option averages $18 per meal in budgeted variable cost. The manager estimates that 2,000 people will order a meal in any month.

For July, the restaurant served a total of 1,800 meals, including 600 buffet options. Total revenues were $27,600 for buffet meals and $42,000 for the a la carte meals.

Required:

a. Compute the activity variance for the restaurant for July. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for unfavorable. If there is no effect, do not select either option.)

b. Compute the mix and quantity variances for July. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for unfavorable. If there is no effect, do not select either option.)

A hotel rental service needs to have clean towels for each day of a three-day period. Some of the clean towels may be purchased new and some may be dirty towels from previous days that have been washed by a laundry service. The cost of new towels is $1 per towel, the cost of a fast one-day laundry serice is 40¢ per towel, and the cost of a slow two-day laundry service is 25¢ per towel. If the rental service needs 300,200, and 400 clean towels for each of the next three days (respectively), how many towels should the rental service buy new and how many should the rental service have washed by the different laundry services so as to minimize total costs?

The solution is minC=570 at (x,y,z,w)=(400,100,200,200), please use hand-writing for the process.

HomeSuites is a chain of all-suite, extended-stay hotel properties. The chain has 21 properties with an average of 200 rooms in each property. In year 1, the occupancy rate (the number of rooms filled divided by the number of rooms available) was 75 percent, based on a 365-day year. The average room rate was $210 for a night. The basic unit of operation is the "night," which is one room occupied for one night. The operating income for year 1 is as follows: HomeSuites Operating Income Year 1 Sales revenue Lodging $ 138,060,000 Food & beverage 39,091,500 Miscellaneous 11,497,500 Total revenues $ 188,649,000 Costs Labor $ 79,873,500 Food & beverage 22,995,000 Miscellaneous 13,797,000 Management 2,509,000 Utilities, etc. 37,800,000 Depreciation 10,500,000 Marketing 16,500,000 Other costs 3,250,000 Total costs $ 187,224,500 Operating profit $ 1,424,500 In year 1, the average fixed labor cost was $409,000 per property. The remaining labor cost was variable with respect to the number of nights. Food and beverage cost and miscellaneous cost are all variable with respect to the number of nights. Utilities and depreciation are fixed for each property. The remaining costs (management, marketing, and other costs) are fixed for the firm. At the beginning of year 2, HomeSuites will open four new properties with no change in the average number of rooms per property. The occupancy rate is expected to remain at 75 percent. Management has made the following additional assumptions for year 2: The average room rate will increase by 5 percent. Food and beverage revenues per night are expected to decline by 20 percent with no change in the cost. The labor cost (both the fixed per property and variable portion) is not expected to change. The miscellaneous cost for the room is expected to increase by 25 percent, with no change in the miscellaneous revenues per room. Utilities and depreciation costs (per property) are forecast to remain unchanged. Management costs will increase by 8 percent, and marketing costs will increase by 10 percent. Other costs are not expected to change. The managers of HomeSuites are considering different pricing strategies for year 2. Under the first strategy ("High Price"), they will work to maintain an average price of $261 per night. They realize that this will reduce demand and estimate that the occupancy rate will fall to 65.0 percent with this strategy. Under the alternative strategy ("High Occupancy"), they will work to increase the occupancy rate by lowering the average price. They estimate that with an average nightly rate of $174, they can achieve an occupancy rate of 85 percent. The current estimated profit is $139,623,405. Required: a.
