Question 1.
Break-even point (per unit) = Total Fixed Costs / Average Revenue – Variable Costs per Unit
Total Fixed Costs = Total Costs – Variable Costs
Total Costs = $138,410 (Total Expenses, Exhibit 1)
In this case, Variable Costs would include Cleaning Supplies, Linen Service, and one half of Miscellaneous expenses; therefore, Total Variable Costs = 1,920 + 13,920 + 3,657 = $19,497
Thus, Total Fixed Costs = $138,410 - $19,497 = $118,913
Average number of rooms occupied per season = 120 days x 80 rooms x 80% occupancy rate = 7,680
Variable Cost per Unit = $19,497/7,680 = $2.54
Average revenue (price) = $160,800/7,680 = $20.94
Thus, break-even point = $118,913/($20.94 - $2.54) = 6462 room nights total / 120 days = 54 rooms
Question 2.
Weekend nights for the season = 120 nights/7 nights in a week x 2 weekend nights = 34 weekend nights
Contribution margin from question 1 or Average Revenue – Variable Cost per Unit =
= $20.94 - $2.54 = $18.4
Loss: 80 – 72 = 8 rooms x 34 weekend nights x $18.4 = $5,005
Profit: 72 rooms x 34 weekend nights x $5 increase in rates = $12,240
Difference = $12,240 - $5,005 = $7,235 (number if positive; therefore, we have a profit and we should add it to profit before taxes)
Therefore, revised profit before taxed would be equal to $22,390 + $7,235 = $29,625
Question 3.
Contribution Margin = Average Revenue – Variable Cost per Unit
According to the case, the plans were to reduce the rates for the off-season to $10 and $15 for single and double occupancy respectively. Therefore, the average price per room during off-season would be ($10 + $15)/2 = $14
Variable cost per unit from question 1 equals to $2.54 per occupied room/day
Therefore, Contribution Margin = $14 - $2.54 = $11.46 per occupied room/day
Question 4.
First of all, I need to calculate the general expenses of running the hotel during off-season. This would

...Jose Manuel Jr. Professor Kam ACCT 3200 February 25, 2013 Skyview Manor The analysis of this case study is based on three different scenarios: 1) Regular Season, 2) Off Season, and 3) Raised Rates. To begin our analysis, Skyview Manor’s Contribution Margin Income Statement must be calculated to look for the cost behaviors. A cost behavior relates to the fluctuation of an activity. Next, we need to calculate the fixed cost. Luckily, the fixed cost will be unchanged during each scenario unless there is an added fixed value. The variable cost will be the challenge in each scenario because the variable cost changes in each activity. The variable cost per unit remains the same over activities that are relevant. Total variable cost will change directly proportional to each activity. After getting these calculations, we will be able to find each scenario’s Breakeven, Operating Income, and Degree of Leverage. Regular Season: To calculate for the regular season, we need to start with finding the total variable cost. In Exhibit 1, I have identified the variable cost to be in the cleaning supplies at $1,920; linen services at $13,920; and half of the miscellaneous expenses at $3657. Total variable cost will be $19,497. After getting the total variable cost, I can figure out the variable cost per unit. Total variable cost divided by the amount of days (120 days) times the price ($80) times average occupancy rate (80%). The variable cost per unit will be $2.54. Next, I will be able...

Skyview Manor

...Skyview Manor This case study is set in 1962 in rural Vermont. The Skyview Manor is an old, but wel/maintained property that has changed ownership several times over the years. It has no restaurant or bar. It is positioned as a mid-price, good quality "destination" resort hotel. The Skyview Manor is open only during the skiing season. It opens on December 2 and closes the last day of March. The ski mountain that it serves operates on a permit from the state which allows only 120 days of operation per year. Each of the 50 rooms in the east wing rents for $15 for single occupancy or $20 for double occupancy. The west wing of the hotel has 30 rooms, all of which have spectacular views of the skiing slopes, the mountains, and the village. Rooms in this wing rentfor $20 and $25 for sitigle or double occupancy, respectively. The average occupancy rate during the season is about 80% (typically, the Hotel is full on weekends and averages 50 to 60 rooms occupied on week nights). The ratio of single versus double occupancy is 2:8, on average. . Operating results for the last fiscal year are shown in Exhibit 1. Mr. Kacheck, the manager of the hotel, is concerned about the off-season months, which show losses each month and reduce the high profits reported during the season. He has suggested to the owners, who acquired this hotel only at the end of the 1961 season, that to reduce the off-season losses, they should agree to keep the west wing of the hotel operating year-round. He...
