Problem 13-59 (Static) Prepare Budgeted Financial Statements (LO 13-6, 7)

HomeSuites is a chain of all-suite, extended-stay hotel properties. The chain has 15 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 70 percent, based on a 365-day year. The average room rate was $180 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 $ 137,970,000
Food & beverage 19,162,500
Miscellaneous 7,665,000
Total revenues $ 164,797,500
Costs
Labor $ 44,325,000
Food & beverage 13,797,000
Miscellaneous 9,198,000
Management 2,500,000
Utilities, etc. 37,500,000
Depreciation 10,500,000
Marketing 25,000,000
Other costs 8,000,000
Total costs $ 150,820,000
Operating profit $ 13,977,500

In year 1, the average fixed labor cost was $400,000 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 three new properties with no change in the average number of rooms per property. The occupancy rate is expected to remain at 70 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.

Required:

Prepare a budgeted income statement for year 2.

First, BICA is considering the purchase of the Empty Arms hotel. Next year's NOI and cash flow is expected to be $2,000,000 and BIC's economic forecast of market supply and demand and vacancy levels indicated they will continue to be in balance. As a result NOI should increase by 1.5 percent each year based upon expected capital improvements, and BIC believes they should earn 9% total return on the investment.

What is the estimated value of the property?

What cap rate should be found from recently sold properties that are comparable to Empty Arms? NOTE how the cap rate reflects the growth in NOI.

Should they purchase this investment if the negotiated asking price is $27M?

Round Tree Manor is a hotel that provides two types of rooms with three rental classes: Super Saver, Deluxe, and Business. The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows:

Rental Class


Room
Super Saver Deluxe Business
Type I $36 $38
Type II $15 $26 $38

Type I rooms do not have wireless Internet access and are not available for the Business rental class.

Round Tree's management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class. The demand forecast for a particular night is 140 rentals in the Super Saver class, 60 rentals in the Deluxe class, and 40 rentals in the Business class. Round Tree has 125 Type I rooms and 135 Type II rooms.

  1. Use linear programming to determine how many reservations to accept in each rental class and how the reservations should be allocated to room types.
    Variable # of reservations
    SuperSaver rentals allocated to room type I
    SuperSaver rentals allocated to room type II
    Deluxe rentals allocated to room type I
    Deluxe rentals allocated to room type II
    Business rentals allocated to room type II

    Is the demand by any rental class not satisfied?
