The hotel manager received an offer to hold the local Rotary Club annual meeting at the hotel in March, which is the hotel’s low season with an occupancy rate of under 50%. The Rotary Club would reserve 50 suites for three nights if the hotel could offer a 50% discount, or a rate of $125 per night. The hotel manager is inclined to reject the offer because the cost per suite per night is $140. The manager believes that if 50 suites are offered at the rate of $125 per night for three nights, the hotel would lose $2,250, computed as ($125 – $140) × 50 suites × 3 nights.
