Pelican Roost Hotel has 100 rooms. For a normal February, it averages 60% capacity. However, there are three 3-day events scheduled for February in which the hotel expects to be completely booked. Of the additional guests coming for the events, one-half will likely attach an extra day before or after the event to enjoy the beach and/or other local sights. You have determined that the housekeeping staff requires 30 minutes to clean each occupied room. The housekeeping staff is paid $14 per hour. The housekeeping labor cost is fully variable to the number of occupied rooms. Assuming it is not a leap year, the total housekeeping budget for February is
a. $14,420
b. $14,700
c. $28,840
d. $29,400
d.$29,400.
| 3 * 3 event days will be (60% normal+ 40% extra occupancy) (3*3*100 rooms 100%) | 900 |
| 3 extra days (60% normal occupancy + (40%*(1/2) days to enjoy beach) (3*100*80%) | 240 |
| 16 normal days (60% normal occupancy) => (60%*100 rooms *16 days) | 960 |
| total room days | 2,100 |
budgeted housekeeping expense = 2100 rooms * $14
=>$29,400.
