Chuck stout is the rm for the holiday inn express. his 220-room property normally sells 85 percent of its rooms on tuesday nights at an adr of $141.50. all variable costs related to selling his rooms are $55.00 per room. the dosm at his holiday inn express is proposing to place a bid to sell 125 rooms for a tuesday night next month at a rate of $109.00 per room. chuck believes that if the hotel wins this group rooms bid, the transient room sales for that day will ensure a sell-out at the rate of $141.50.what would be the total amount of after-variable costs rooms’ revenue the hotel will achieve if it wins the group rooms contract? $14,967.50$13,442.50$16,175.50$18,7 47.50what would be the after-variable room’s income if the hotel does not win the contract? $16,175.50$14,967.50$18,747.50$14,5 47.00

winning the group romm contract: $14,967.50

normal tuesday revenue                    $16,175.50

Explanation:

group contract:

125 rooms x $ 109       =  13,625

normal rooms:

(220-125)   x $ 141.50  =  13,442.5  

       total revenue:          27,067.5

variable cost: 220x55=  (12,100)

   contribution:                14,967.5

If it doesn't win the contract

will sale 220 x 85% = 187 rooms at 141.5 each

187 rooms x (141.5 - 55) = 16.175,5‬

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
