Chapter 3, Problem 8E

State University’s football team just received a bowl game invitation, and the students and alumni are excited. Holiday Travel Agency, located close to campus, decided to put together a bowl game package. For $50,000, a 737 jet could be chartered to take up to 170 people to and from the bowl city. A block of 85 hotel rooms could be confirmed for $400 each (a three-night commitment); Holiday Travel must pay for all the rooms in advance and cannot cancel any of them. The day of the game, a pregame buffet will be catered at $30 per person, and each person will receive a game favor package (consisting of a sweatshirt, a T-shirt, a commemorative pin with the school and bowl logos, and two pompons in the school’s colors). All items in the favor package can be purchased by Holiday Travel on December 21 and will cost the agency $25 per set. Buses will be chartered in the bowl city to transport participants to and from the airport and the game. Each bus holds 50 people and can be chartered for $500. The bowl game is scheduled for December 28, and the trip will span three nights—December 26, 27, and 28. Purchasers must reserve their package and pay in full by December 20.

We consider a hotel resort which contains a casino. The nightly rate for the room is $ 400. There are 140 rooms in total. Every night, some customers in Casino would request to book a room in the hotel. The hotel would offer 50% discount for the room rate for people who play in the Casino. Besides the room rate, on average, a customer that plays in Casino and stay at night can bring in additional revenue of $800 to the hotel. If we do not have the information about the number of people who would come and play in Casino, how many rooms should the hotel reserves for casino players? What would be the competitive ratio in this case? Key words for this question: resource allocation, competitive ratio, Revenue Management Please do fast ASAP ..fast....
A large land-grant university that is currently facing severe parking problems on its campus is considering constructing parking decks off campus. A shuttle service could pick up students at the off campus parking deck and transport them to various locations on campus. The university would charge a small fee for each shuttle ride, and the students could be quickly and economically transported to their classes. The funds raised by the shuttle would be used to pay for trolleys, which cost about $170,000 each. Each trolley has a 12-year service life, with an estimated salvage value of $12,000. To operate each trolley, additional expenses will be incurred, as given in the table below. If students pay 10 cents for each ride, determine the annual ridership per trolley (number of shuttle rides per year) required to justify the shuttle project, assuming an interest rate of 6%.
