Answer 1

Answer:

The approximate occupancy rate index last month was 112%.

Explanation:

According to the data, we have the following:

Ginger’s occupancy = 85%

Its competitive set has 150,000 rooms. The total sold was 115,000 rooms in the month.

So, to calculate the  the approximate occupancy rate index last month, we calculate first occupancy rate of the competitive set = 115,000/150,000 = 0.7667 = 76.67%

Hence competitive set occupancy = 76%

Therefore, occupancy rate INDEX = ginger’s occupancy/competitive set occupancy

= 85%/76 %

= 1.1184  =112%

The approximate occupancy rate index last month was 112%.
