Pirate Properties is a chain of extended stay hotel properties. The chain has $15$ properties with an

average of $200$ rooms in each property. In $2022,$ the occupancy rate $($number of rooms filled

divided by the number of rooms available$)$ was $70$ percent, based on a $365-$day year. The

average room rate was $$180$ for a night.

The operating income for $2022$ is as follows:

In $2022,$ the average fixed labor cost was $$400,000$ per property. The remaining labor cost was

variable with respect to the number of nights. Food and beverage cost and miscellaneous cost

are all variable with respect to the number of nights. Utilities and depreciation are fixed for each

property. The remaining costs $($management$,$ marketing, and other costs$)$ are fixed for the firm.

At the beginning of $2023,$ Pirate Properties will open four new properties with no change in the

average number of rooms per property. The occupancy rate is expected to remain at $70$ percent.

Management has made the following additional assumptions for $2023$:

The average room rate will increase by $5$ percent.

Food and beverage revenues per night are expected to decline by $20$ percent with no

change in the cost.

The labor cost $($both the fixed per property and variable portion$)$ is not expected to

change.

The miscellaneous cost for the room is expected to increase by $25$ percent, with no

change in the miscellaneous revenues per room.

Utilities and depreciation costs $($per property$)$ are forecast to remain unchanged.

Management costs will increase by $8$ percent, and marketing costs will increase by $10$

percent.

Other costs are not expected to change.

Required:

Prepare a budgeted income statement for $2023$ in Excel. Each cell should show your

calculations.

Management wants to also look at what will happen in $2023$ if they raise the price to

$$210$ a night. Management assumes that if they raise the price then they estimate that the

occupancy rate will drop to $60\%.$ Prepare a budgeted income statement under this "high

price" strategy in Excel. Each cell should show your calculations. All other estimates

$($cost per night, property costs, etc.$)$ will remain the same as in requirement $1.$

Management wants to also look at what will happen in $2023$ if they lower the rate to

$$170.$ At this rate they assume the occupancy rate will increase to $80\%.$ Prepare a

budgeted income statement under this "high occupancy" strategy in Excel. Each cell

should show your calculations. All other estimates $($costs per night, property costs, etc.$)$

will remain the same as in requirement $1.$

All three income statements should be on the same excel spreadsheet just in $3$ different

columns.
