Requirement $2.$ Could you characterize this stream of cash flows as an annuity? Why or why not?

The stream of cash flows an annuity because it is a stream of $$ cash payments made at time intervals.

Requirement $3.$ Use the Present Value of Ordinary Annuity of $$1$ table to determine the present value of the same stream of cash flows. Compare your results to your answer to Requirement $1.($Round to

three decimal places,

$$260,900,000$ of assets. The company primarily incurs fixed costs to groom the runs and operate the lifts. SnowDream projects fixed costs to be $$30,000,000$ for the ski season. The resort serves about

$710,000$ skiers and snowboarders each season. Variable costs are about $$9$ per guest. Currently, the resort has such a favorable reputation among skiers and snowboarders that it has some control over

the lift ticket prices.

Read the requirements.

Requirement $1.$ Would SnowDream emphasize target pricing or cost$-$plus pricing? Why?

SnowDream should emphasize a

approach to pricing because it has been able to differentiate its ski resort from others in the area. Because of its good reputation, managers will have

control over pricing. Of course, they still need to consider whether the

price is within the range customers are willing to pay.

Requirement $2.$ If other resorts in the area charge $$85$ per day, what price should SnowDream charge?
