1) A concrete highway curve of radius 70 m and is banked at an angle of 30o. Imagine a car driving around the turn at a constant height. We want to find the maximum speed at which a 1100 kg rubber-tired car can go around this curve. Take the static coefficient of friction of rubber on concrete to be ?s = 1.0.

a) Calculate the maximum speed the car can go around the curve.

b) Discuss what is different from finding the maximum to finding the minimum speeds.

c) Calculate the minimum speed the car can go around the curve

2) On a rainy day, the concrete will be wet and reduce the coefficient of friction to ?s = 0.3

a) Calculate the maximum speed the car can go around the curve.

b) Calculate the minimum speed the car can go around the curve.

3) Freezing rain! The coefficient of friction is now zero! Can a car theoretically make it around this turn? If not, explain why not. If so, calculate the speed(s) at which they will be able to make it around the curve.

Consider the assumptions that framed the analysis. Removing a hotel from the secondary competition and add it to the primary competition. What effect does taking out a Hotel from secondary competition has on the overall analysis? On Demand Base , changes in overall penetrations, changes in the market segment penetrations for the individual hotels, market segment mix for the entire market, and demand.

Park Corporation is planning to issue bonds with a face value of $3,500,000 and a coupon rate of 10 percent. The bonds mature in 10 years and pay interest semiannually every June 30 and December 31. All of the bonds were sold on January 1 of this year. Park uses the effective-interest amortization method and also uses a premium account. Assume an annual market rate of interest of 8.5 percent.

1. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.

2. Prepare the journal entry to record the interest payment on June 30 of this year.

3. How will Park present its bonds on its June 30 balance sheet?

For the 405 highway that car pass through a checkpoint, assume the speeds are normally distributed such that μ= 61 miles per hour and δ=4 miles per hour.

Calculate the Z value for the next car that passes through the checkpoint will be traveling slower than 65 miles per hour.

Calculate the Z value for the next car that passes through the checkpoint will be traveling more than 66 miles per hour.

Calculate the probability that the next car will be traveling more that 66 miles per hour is:

Suppose gas costs $3 a gallon and the average car gets 28 miles per gallon. If Congress mandates that cars have to get 36 miles per gallon, by what percentage will this lower the costs of driving? If the elasticity of total miles driven (per year) with respect to the cost of driving is –1, by how much will total miles driven per year increase, assuming it is 10,000 miles at the beginning? How much will total annual gas consumption of the average car change as a result of the mandated program?

Hospitality and Tourism Management Subject:

A big business-oriented hotel has 505 rooms. Five of those rooms had an issue with a leaking bathroom. On Tuesday night, 440 rooms were occupied (sold). On Friday night, 240 rooms were occupied (sold).

The hotel's room revenue (sales) for Thursday was $90 200. The room revenue (sales) for Friday was $38 400

- What was the Occupancy percent, the ADR and the RevPar for Thursday and Friday?

- What do the numbers for Occupancy, ADR, and RevPar for the two days tell you - please comment on each number and explain what "conclusions" you would make if you are the general manager of the hotel.

- Which characteristic of the lodging industry is "causing" the different occupancy for Thursday and Friday night? Please explain briefly. What can a hotel manager do to address this issue?

- What are some specific services and amenities this segment (business traveler) would be interested in when staying in the hotel? Please list and explain at least 4.

Financial controller of the Mondavi Hotel has the following information about estimated sales revenue and operating expenses for September, October and November.

                                   

September

October

November

Sales

820,000

Operating Expenses

295,000

310,000

330,000

The controller knows that cash sales are 30% of total sales and remaining sales are on credit. For the collection of credit sales, 50% are collected in the month of sales while the remaining 50% is collected in the following month. Mondavi Hotel pays 60% of the operating expenses in cash in the month they incur and remaining 40% is paid in the following month. In addition to this information, the controller is informed that:

  • In October, Mondavi Hotel will replace the range in the main kitchen, which will cost $14,000 and will be paid in cash immediately.
  • Each month, $20,000 will paid to a national bank to reduce an outstanding long-term debt.

Mondavi Hotel uses cash receipts and disbursement method for cash budgets.

Given the information:

If the beginning cash balance for October is $150,000, what would be the ending balance in October?

using c++ You have been contracted to build a hotel reservation system. This is the system that hotel desk clerks will use to take desk reservations.

Assumptions: This is acting as though the only reservations taken are at the desk. All reservations are for one night. The hotel is empty when you start the program.

First, this program will give the full inventory of rooms in the hotel.

Total rooms: 122

There are four types of rooms with these prices:

  • Standard Rooms, Courtyard - 70 - $125 a night
  • Standard Room, Scenic - 35 - $145 a night
  • Deluxe Suite - 15 - $350 a night
  • Penthouse - 2 - $1135 a nigh

    Second, the program will allow for a room to be reserved for one night. The program will keep track of the inventory as rooms are being reserved.

    Third, the program will keep track of revenue brought in for the day from reserved rooms.

    Fourth, the user can choose a getTotal() function that will display remaining room inventory, what was reserved and revenue generated for the day.

  • PLEASE NOTE: This project must incorporate a class friend or class inheritance structure.
