thanks in advance!

part of the U required for fram Problem 18 Lynn Inn, a 100-room lodging facility, is proposed for construction in the north-central + of the United States. The total cost of construction is $5,000,000. Another $200,000 is uired for franchise costs and working capital purposes. Franchise costs of $100,000 are to amortized over the first five years of operations. To simplify the problem, depreciation is lculated on a straight-line basis over 24 years (assume $200,000 of salvage value). The owners will borrow $3,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 12 percent. The owners desire an 18 percent return on their equity investment. Other unallocable costs, except for management fees, total $1,500,000 annually. Management fees are based on 3 percent of room sales. Assume that gift shop department and food service department profits total $0 and $300,000, respectively. Further assume that all room department costs are variable and total 25 percent of room revenues, and that the Lynn Inn can achieve a 70 percent occupancy rate for the first year. Finally, assume an average tax rate of 25 percent. Required: 1. Determine the average room rate for the Lynn Inn. 2. Assume that gift shop department losses total $50,000. How much must the average room rate be modified to cover this loss? 3. Assume (independent of #2) that the Lynn Inn has singles, doubles, and suites. Fur- ther, the relationship between sales and prices are as follows: Price vorne Singles Doubles Suites $10 premium over singles rate 125% of doubles rate Sales Mix 30% 50 20 100% Determine the average room rate for suites and doubles
