Solution

1.Hotel’s cost structure          Indications in percentage(%)

Revenue                                     $ 2,000,000                          (100)

Less: Variable expenses            $ 1,300,000                            65

                                                    --------------------

Contribution margin                       $700,000                            

Less: Fixed expenses                   $560,000                            28

                                                    ---------------------

Net income                                       $140,000                            7

2.Revenue declines by 30 percent

Revenue                                     $ 1,400,000                    

Less: Variable expenses               $910,000                                                                                    

                                                   ---------------------

Contribution margin                       $490,000                  

Less: Fixed expenses                   $392,000                          

                                                    ---------------------

Net income                                       $98,000          

3.Operating leverage factor when revenue is $2,000,000    

       Operating leverage =    Contribution/ Net income

                                             

4.Operating leverage factor when increase in revenue by 25 percent  

increase in revenue by 25 percent=

increase in contribution by 25 percent=

increase in net income by 25 percent  =                                                  

       Operating leverage =    Contribution/ Net income

                                         

Answer:

Which one of the following statements about competitive advantage sources is true?

It is feasible to enhance both quality and speed.

Explanation:

Enhancing quality while simultaneously increasing speed is achievable; competitive advantage leads to improvements in quality due to competition from other entities, as well as a faster pace to surpass rivals.

Thus, the internal rate of return stands below the anticipated rate, and therefore the project should be rejected. To elaborate, the cash flow for the project over years 0 to 3 consists of amounts: -$161,900, $60,800, $62,300, and $75,000. The required rate of return is 13%. Let's denote the internal rate of return as y%. At this rate, the present value of inflows equals the present value of outflows, leading to the equation for internal rate of return: 161900 = 60800/1.0y + 62300/1.0y^2 + 75000/1.0y^3. This gives an internal rate of return of y = 10.41%.

Answer: 90 days and 4.06 times

Explanation:

The short-term operating cycle is calculated by adding Average production process time + Days goods are held + Days Accounts receivable are due]

= 40 + 15 + 35

= 90 days

With a 365-day year, the cycle will turnover;

= 365/90

= 4.0556

= 4.06 times
