Calculate a rooms supportable estimate and a one-year financial projection to the point of income before fixed charges for the following hypothetical resort development project. Use 2014 as the current year for the demand projections and assume the resort will take two years to build with its first full operational year being 2017.

Calculations for this should follow example provided. Therefore, Microsoft Excel must be used for calculating these numbers.
