Housekeeping staff budget

Ambassador Suites Inc. operates a downtown hotel property that has 300 rooms. On average, 80% of Ambassador Suites rooms are occupied on weekdays, and 60% are occupied during the weekend. The manager has asked you to develop a direct labor cost budget for the housekeeping and restaurant staff for weekdays and weekends.

The housekeeping labor cost is fully variable to the number of occupied rooms. The restaurant has 6 full-time staff on duty to staff the restaurant for breakfast and lunch (eight hours) on duty, regardless of occupancy. However, for every 20 occupied rooms, an additional person is brought in to work in the restaurant for breakfast and lunch (eight hours). The restaurant staff is paid $8 per hour.
