Answer:

The best rate for the hotel for profit maximization is = 340 $/room

Explanation:

Given that

A hotel room has = 50 rooms

The rate per night = $180

More room are available when the rate is increased by = $10

A maintenance fee of =$20

Now

We find the best rate for the hotel in order to  have for profit

Thus,

When no rate increase is found we have the following,

Cost = ( 180 $/room * 50) = $ 9000

Thus,

When there is a rate increase for a room, we have the following

10x $/ room

The new cost becomes = (180 + 10x) $/room * (50 - x)

which is = 9000 = 500x - 180 x - 10x²

= 9000 + 320 x - 10x²

To get the new profit, we have the following :

Thus,

Profit = (New cost) - (cost)

Profit = (9000 + 320 x - 10x²) - (9000)

= 320x - 10x²

By applying maximization

dp/dx = 0 = 320 -10 * 2x = 0

So,

x = 16

Therefore,the best rate for the hotel for profit maximization is = (180 + 10 * 16)

=340 $/room

LO 7.3Which is not a section of the cash budget?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

allowance for uncollectible accounts

Explanation:

The cash budget represents the cash inflow and cash outflow position with respect of cash receipts and cash payments i.e cash disbursement plus it also involves financing needs i.e how much amount is to be borrowed

But it does not involve the allowance for uncollectible accounts  as it is not shown in the cash budget because it is shown under the debtors side with the negative amount of the balance sheet

g100num [7]

Answer:

EAR = 5.01%

Explanation:

Given that

APR = 4.9% = 0.049

Loan amount = initial amount - deposited amount

= 17345 - 6000

= 11,345

PV = 11345

Frequency of compounding, m = 12

Recall that

EAR = (1 + r/m)^n - 1

Thus,

= (1 + 0.049/12)^12 - 1

= 1+ 0.049/12^12 - 1

= 1.0501 - 1

= 0.0501 ×100

= 5.01%
