Answer the following questions:
1. Guests at a busy eight-story four-star hotel are consistently
complaining about having
to wait too long for the elevator. At 8:00am, some of the elevators
are in use by the
housekeeping department whose associates are going up to begin work
on the guest
rooms. At the same time, room service has an elevator blocked off
to serve in-room
breakfasts because the kitchen and the banqueting departments are
using the service
elevators. Then, at about 10:30 am, the housekeepers use the
elevators to go down for
their morning break. Guests have come to you as a front office
supervisor to report the
issue.
Question:
The general manager recognises your potential and asks you to come
up with
suggestions to take care of the problem/challenge. 20 marks
2. As a front office supervisor, you have realised that a client
disagrees with your front
office clerk on a request being made. The client is not happy about
the outcome and is
seriously angry. Does that mean that the message has not been
properly understood by
the client? Or could it mean something else? Explain 20 marks

Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per? year, 5 days per? week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for ?$11.50 per bag. The following information is available about these bags. Refer to the standard normal table LOADING... for? z-values.
Demand ?= 80 ?bags/week
Order cost? = ?$58?/order
Annual holding cost? = 30 percent of cost
Desired ?cycle-service levelequals90 percent
Lead time? = 2 ?week(s) ?(10 working? days)
Standard deviation of weekly demand? = 16 bags
Current ?on-hand inventory is 310 ?bags, with no open orders or backorders.
a. What is the? EOQ?
?Sam's optimal order quantity is
374 bags. ?(Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole? number.)
What would be the average time between orders? (in weeks)?
The average time between orders is
nothing weeks. ?(Enter your response rounded to one decimal? place.)
b. What should R ?be?
The reorder point is
nothing bags. ?(Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole? number.)
c. An inventory withdrawal of 10 bags was just made. Is it time to? reorder?
d. The store currently uses a lot size of 505 bags? (i.e., Qequals505?). What is the annual holding cost of this? policy?
The annual holding cost is ?$
nothing. ?(Enter your response rounded to two decimal? places.)
What is the annual ordering? cost?
The annual ordering cost is ?$
nothing. ?(Enter your response rounded to two decimal? places.)
Without calculating the? EOQ, how can you conclude from these two calculations that the current lot size is too? large?
A. When Q? = 505?, the annual holding cost is larger than the ordering? cost, therefore Q is too large.
B. Both quantities are appropriate.
C. There is not enough information to determine this.
D. When Q? = 505?, the annual holding cost is less then the ordering? cost, therefore Q is too small.
E. What would be the annual cost saved by shifting from the 505?-bag lot size to the? EOQ?
The annual holding cost with the EOQ is ?$
nothing. ?(Enter your response rounded to two decimal? places.)
The annual ordering cost with the EOQ is ?$
nothing. ?(Enter your response rounded to two decimal? places.)
?Therefore, Sam's Cat Hotel saves ?$
nothing by shifting from the 505?-bag lot size to the EOQ. ?(Enter your response rounded to two decimal? places.)

Exercise 17-25 Sales Mix and Quantity Variances (LO 17-3)
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 $47. The a la carte option has a budgeted average price of $36 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 $27 and the a la carte option averages $20 per meal in budgeted variable cost. The manager estimates that 2,100 people will order a meal in any month.
For July, the restaurant served a total of 1,900 meals, including 640 buffet options. Total revenues were $30,720 for buffet meals and $49,140 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.)

Sam's Cat Hotel operates 5252 weeks per? year, 77 days per? week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for ?$10.7510.75 per bag. The following information is available about these bags. Refer to the standard normal table LOADING... for? z-values.
Demand = 100 bags/weeks
Order cost = $56/order
Annual Holding Cost = 30 percent of cost
Desired cycle-service level =99 percent Lead time = 2 weeks (14 working days)
Standard deviation of weekly demand = 10 bags
Current on-hand inventory is 315 bags with no open orders or backorders
d. The store currently uses a lot size of 495 bags (i.e, Q =495).
What is the annual holding cost of this policy? The annual holding cost is ??? (Enter your response and round to two decimal places)
What is the annual ordering cost? The annual ordering cost is ??? (Enter your respone and round to two decimal places)
Without calculating the EOQ, how can you conclude from these two calucations that the current lot size is too large? Select the correct answer from the multiple choice below.
A. When Q= 495, the annual holding cost is larger than the ordering cost, therefore Q is too large.
B. There is not enough information to determine this.
C. When Q=495, the annual holding cost is less then the ordering cost, therefore Q is too small.
D. Both quantiies are appropriate.
Please answer the following questions for section e.
e. What would be the annual cost saved by shifting from the 495 bag lot size to the EOQ?
The annual holding cost with the EOQ is ??? (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places)
The annual ordering cost with the EOQ is ??? (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, Sam's Cat Hotel saves ??? by shifting from the 495 bag lot size to the EOQ? (Enter your response rounded to the nearest two decimal places)

Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per year, 6 days per week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for $11.00 per bag. The following information is available about these bags:
Demand=80 bags/week
Order cost=$55.00/order
Annual holding cost=40 percent of cost
Desired cycle-service level=80 percent
Lead time=5 weeks (30 working days)
Standard deviation of weekly demand=15 bags
Current on-hand inventory is 320 bags, with no open orders or backorders.
a. Suppose that the weekly demand forecast of 80 bags is incorrect and actual demand averages only 55 bags per week. How much higher will total costs be, owing to the distorted EOQ caused by this forecast error?
The costs will be $___ higher owing to the error in EOQ. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
b. Suppose that actual demand is 50 bags but that ordering costs are cut to only $13.00 by using the internet to automate order placing. However, the buyer does not tell anyone, and the EOQ is not adjusted to reflect this reduction in S. How much higher will total costs be, compared to what they could if the EOQ were adjusted?
The costs will be $____ higher owing to the error EOQ.
