Kelly Hayes operates a bed and breakfast hotel in a beach resort area of Noosa. Depreciation on the hotel is $60,000 per year. Kelly employs a maintenance person at an annual salary of $30,000 per year and a cleaning person at an annual salary of $24,000 per year. Rates and taxes are $10,000 per year. The rooms rent at an average price of $50 per person per night including breakfast. Other costs are laundry service at $4.00 per person per night and the cost of food which is $6.00 per person per night.

Instructions:

(a)what are total fixed cost and Variable cost per person per night ?


b)Determine the number of rentals and the sales revenue Kelly needs to break even using the contribution margin technique.

(c) If the current level of rentals is 4,000, by what percentage (Margin of Safety) can rentals decrease before Kelly has to worry about having a net loss?

(d) Kelly is considering upgrading the breakfast service to attract more business and increase prices. This will cost an additional $5.00 for food costs per person per night. Kelly feels she can increase the room rate to $65 per person per night. Determine the number of rentals and the sales revenue Kelly needs to break even if the changes are made.

e) Determine the contribution margin per person per night ?

1. The Sleep Well Corporation operates many hotels throughout the world. Suppose one of its Chicago hotels is facing difficult times because of the opening of several competing hotels. To accomodate its flight personnel, Air One has offered Sleep Well a contract for the coming year that provides a rate of $75 per night per room for a minimum of 45 rooms for 365 flights. This contract would assume Sleep Well of selling 45 rooms of space nightly, even if some of the rooms are vacant on some nights. Assume zero variable costs. The Sleep Well manager has mixed feelings about the contract. On several peak nights during the? year, the hotel could sell the same space for $175 per room. Suppose the Sleep Well manager signs the contract. What is the opportunity cost of the 45 rooms on October? 20, the night of a big convention of retailers when every nearby hotel room is? occupied? What is the opportunity cost on December? 28, when only 9 of these rooms would be expected to be rented at an average rate of $105??

If the? year-round rate per room averaged $85?, what percentage of occupancy of the 45 rooms in question would have to be rented to make Sleep Well indifferent about accepting the? offer?

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT THE ANSWER WITH STEPS.

Write a program in Java Using object Orientation Design to determine the status of Mini Van Sliding Doors. A logical circuit receives a different binary code to allow opening different doors. The doors can be opened by a dashboard switch, inside or outside handle. The inside handle will not open the door if the child safety lock is on or the master lock is on. The gear shift must be in the park to open the door.

1. A method must be written to indicate the gear shift status and return to main.
2. A method to display which door is open or can be opened.
3. A method to show the status of all doors
4. A method to convert the code to decimal and store in the text file (Character based) as a record.

** MUST USE constructors and methods. The methods should be instantiated by an object. Use simple main. The first bit Stream must be entered by users. The program needs to be interactive

A large corporation must reserve a hotel room block for its annual stockholders' meeting. Based on history, the number of attendees will be normally distributed with mean 4900 and standard deviation 1000. Rooms can be reserved now for a cost of $150/room. If the number of rooms reserved is less than attendance, additional rooms must be reserved at a cost of $250/room. If the number of rooms reserved is greater than attendance, the corporation must indemnify the hotel at the rate of $75 per unused room.

The boss tells you: "I am going to reserve 4300, 4400, 4500, 4600, 4700, 4800, 4900, 5000, 5100, or 5200 rooms, whichever you recommend. Please give me your recommendation." (first number requested)

Redo the problem: The number attending has a triangular distribution with minimum 2000, most likely value 4900, and maximum value 6900. Again, he boss tells you: "I am going to reserve 4300, 4400, 4500, 4600, 4700, 4800, 4900, 5000, 5100, or 5200 rooms, whichever you recommend. Please give me your recommendation." (second number requested)

For the first part of the problem, what is the chance that the random number sampled from the normal is negative, to 3 significant decimal digits? (third number requested)

The Moto Hotel opened for business on May 1, 2017. Here is its trial balance before adjustment on May 31.

Other data:

I drive to school and am currently looking for a parking spot so I can walk to Jacob's. If I turn into a parking lot to look for a spot to park in that specific lot, the process of looking for a spot takes 1 minute of time whether I find a spot or not.  

Parking lot A is closest to Jacobs. If I get a spot here, it takes me 1 minute to walk into my class at the business school, however there is only a 10% chance I'll find a spot if I look.

Parking lot B is a 4-minute walk; if I pull in to look for a spot, there is a 30% chance I'll find a spot.

Parking lot C is an 8-minute walk; if I pull in to look for a spot, there is a 100% chance I will find a spot.  

Which strategy to find a parking spot is best for me (ie. which order should I check the parking lots for spots to park), assuming we are risk-neutral, and simply want to have the earliest expected arrival time to Jacob’s as possible? (Another way to say this is we want the smallest expected value of time spent getting to Hall).

Now, assume I am risk averse (let’s say that in this second case, my class starts in 10 minutes, and there is a large decrease in my utility if I am late for class). Is the best strategy the same as when I am risk-neutral, or has it changed?
