Tim Urban, owner/manager of Urban's Motor Court in Key West, is considering outsourcing the daily room cleanup for his motel to Duffy's Maid Service. Tim rents an
average of 50 rooms for each of 365 nights (365 x 50 equals the total rooms rented for the year). Tim's cost to clean a room is $13.00. The Duffy's Maid Service quote
is $19.00 per room plus a fixed cost of $24,000 for sundry items such as uniforms with the motel's name. Tim's annual fixed cost for space, equipment, and supplies is
$61,000.
Based on the given information related to costs for each of the options, the crossover point for Timroom nights (round your response to the nearest whole
number).
If the number of room nights is less than the crossover point, then
Based on the given room nights that Tim expects to rent (18,250), the best option is

An Apple Cars plant operates most efficiently (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 18,300 cars each month. It has a
maximum output capability of 22,000 units per month (e.g., when its CEO, Tim Chef, forces everyone to work crazy amounts of
overtime), and can make as few as 7,000 units per month without forcing the hand of executives to shift production to another plant. If
the plant makes 12,770 cars in December, what was the capacity utilization rate? Round your final answer to 1 decimal place, and
enter it as a percent without the percent sign; for example, use 18.9, not 18.9% or .2.

Summertime rates run about $250 a night. During the winter, rooms rent for as little as $70 a night. Assume the average fixed cost of a room per night, including insurance, taxes, and depreciation, is $30. The average guest-related cost (average variable cost) for a room each night, including cleaning service and linens, is $65. The average total cost, which is the sum of the average fixed cost ($30) and the average variable cost ($65), is $95. During the winter, these hotels should shut down until summer because they cannot cover all of their fixed costs. continue to operate despite operating at a loss because they are covering all of their variable cost and a portion of their fixed costs. continue to operate because they are earning a positive economic profit. shut down until summer because they are currently operating at a loss.arrow_forward
