Accept business at a special price for a service company
If you are not familiar with Priceline.com Inc., go to its Web site. Assume that an individual “names a price” of $85 on Priceline.com for a room in Nashville, Tennessee, on August 22. Assume that August 22 is a Saturday, with low expected room demand in Nashville at a Marriott International, Inc., hotel, so there is excess room capacity. The fully allocated cost per room per day is assumed from hotel records as follows:
|
Housekeeping labor cost* |
$ 38 |
|
Hotel depreciation expense |
43 |
|
Cost of room supplies (soap, paper, etc.) |
8 |
|
Laundry labor and material cost* |
10 |
|
Cost of desk staff |
6 |
|
Utility cost (mostly air conditioning) |
5 |
|
Total cost per room per day |
$110 |
*Both housekeeping and laundry staff include many part-time workers, so that the workload is variable to demand.
Should Marriott accept the customer bid for a night in Nashville on August 22 at a price of $85?
