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 $1.$
