Superior Stay Resorts provides luxurious hotel accommodations to its high-end customer base. Superior measures business volume by the total number of occupied guest room nights during the year. For each of the past several years, Superior's sales have been considerably less than the expected annual volume of 1,200,000 total guest room nights. Therefore, the company ends each year with significant unused capacity. Given its high-fixed cost structure, Superior's profitability hinges on increasing the number of occupied guest room nights (i.e., decreasing unused capacity) throughout the year. As a result, Superior's Controller, Jack, has decided to seek out potential special-order offers from other companies.

Jack was excited, noting that, "This is a great way for us to make use of one of our most premier properties!".
