Answer 1

Answer:

Total profit for week = $57360

Explanation:

To calculate the profit for one-week period, we first need to calculate the revenue for one week period based on the given occupancy.

We will first calculate the revenue for every day and add it to calculate the revenue for the week.

Sunday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Monday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Tuesday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Wednesday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Thursday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Friday = 50 * 48  +  130 * 56  => $9680

Saturday = 50 * 48  +  130 * 56  => $9680

Total revenue for one week = 12960 * 5 + 9680 * 2  => $84160

To calculate the profit, we will first calculate the total cost.

Total cost = 20000 + (5 * 200 * 5 + 5 * 180 * 2)

Total cost = $26800

Total profit for week = 84160 - 26800

Total profit for week = $57360
