Grand Garden is a luxury hotel with 165 suites. Its regular suite rate is $210 per night per suite. The hotel’s cost per night i

s $135 per suite and consists of the following.
Variable direct labor and materials cost $ 36
Fixed cost [($5,970,000/165 suites) ÷ 365 days] 99
Total cost per night per suite $ 135
The hotel manager received an offer to hold the local Bikers’ Club annual meeting at the hotel in March, which is the hotel’s low season with an occupancy rate of under 55%. The Bikers’ Club would reserve 45 suites for three nights if the hotel could offer a 55% discount, or a rate of $94 per night. The hotel manager is inclined to reject the offer because the cost per suite per night is $135.
Required:
Prepare an analysis of this offer for the hotel manager.

Answer:

rental price per night $210

variable direct labor and materials $36

fixed costs $5,970,000

assuming 100% occupancy rate during the whole year, fixed cost per unit = $99 per night

total cost per night $135

assuming a 55% occupancy rate = 90.75 rooms per night

fixed costs are equal in both scenarios, so they are not relevant

                              alternative A       alternative B       differential

                              not rent               rent to bikers      amount

rental revenue      $19,057.50          $23,310               ($4,252.50)

per day

variable costs        -$3,267               -$4,887                $1,620

total per night       $15,790.50         $18,423                ($2,632.50)

x 3 nights              $47,371.50          $55,269               ($7,897.50)

By not renting the rooms to the Biker Club, the hotel will be losing $7,897.50 during the 3 nights.

The allocation of fixed costs per night assumes that all the hotel rooms are being rented every night and that is not true, so the total cost per night is not a valid amount. They should allocate fixed costs based on the average occupancy rates per month.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

A) $50

Explanation:

The computation of the intrinsic value of the stock is shown below:

But before that the required rate of return is computed by using CAPM

Required rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - risk-free rate of return)

= 5% + 0.5 × (13% - 5%)

= 5% + 0.5 × 8%

= 5% + 4%

= 9%

Now the intrisinc value is

= Dividend ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)

= $6 ÷ (9% - (-3%)

= $6 ÷ 12%

= $50

Hence, the intrinsic value of the stock is $50

Therefore the correct option is A.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

B) $ 70,000.

Explanation:

Debt service expense

Debt service expense is the interest expense incurred to avail the debt services from another entity.

Debt service expense can be calculated using the following formula

Debt service expense = Face value of Bonds x Interest rate x Semiannual fraction

Where

Face value of bonds = $3,500,000

Interest rate  = 4%

Semiannual fraction = 6 / 12 = 1/ 2

placing values in the formula

Debt service expense = $3,500,000 x 4% x 1/2

Debt service expense = $70,000

Marianna [84]

Trescott company had the following results of operations for the past year:

Sales (20,000 units at $22) $440,000

Direct materials and direct labor $200,000

Overhead (40% variable) 100,000

Selling and Administrative expenses (all fixed) 92,000 (392,000)

Operating income $ 48,000

A foreign company (whose sales will not affect Trescott's market) offers to buy 3,000 units at $17.00 per unit. In addition to the variable manufacturing costs, selling these units would increase fixed overhead by $500 and selling and administrative costs by $1,000. If Trescott accepts the offer, its profits will increase (decrease) by:

Answer : If Cornish accepts this order, its profits will increase by $13,500.

<u>Calculation of Variable Costs per unit :</u>

Direct Material and labor per unit = Total Direct Material and labor / No. of units sold

Direct Material and labor per unit =200000/20000 = $10

Variable Overhead per unit = Total Variable Overhead / No. of units sold

Variable Overhead per unit = (100000*0.4)/20000 = $2

Variable Cost per unit = $12 (Direct Material and labor per unit + Variable Overhead per unit)

Selling price of new order = $17 per unit

No. of units = 3,000

Increase in Fixed Costs = Inc in fixed overhead + inc in S&A Expenses

Increase in Fixed Costs = $1500 (500 + 1000)

Total Cost of new order = (Variable Cost per unit * No. of units) + Increased Fixed Cost

Total Cost of new order = (12*3000) + 1500 = $37,500

Total Revenues from new order = Selling price per unit * No. of units sold

Total Revenues = $51,000 (17 *3,000)

Profit from new order = Total Revenues from new order - Total Cost of new order

Profit from new order = 51000 - 37500 = $13,500

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Ranking 10% interest rate:

1) 5 years

2) 10 years

3) 1 year

Raking 2% interest rate:

1) 10 years

2) 5 years

3) 1 year

Raking 18% interest rate:

1) 1 year

2) 5 years

3) 10 years

Explanation:

You have to apply to bring the amount of money to present value, according with the information, the formula is the next:

Present Value = Future Value/((1+ interest rate)^(n))

Where n is the number of years that you have to wait to receive the money.

You have to calculate every situation with the respective amount of time and interest rate, the result must be money. and when you get the 9 results, you have to compare every situation and chose the higher amount of money according to the interest rate, for example:

Present value = 140/ ((1+10%)^(1))=  127    

                       =  140/ ((1+10%)^(5))=   149    

                        =  140/ ((1+10%)^(5))=   135

So the answer for the first scenario with an interest rate of 10% is:  

Ranking 10% interest rate:

1) 5 years

2) 10 years

3) 1 year
