Question
Round Tree Manor is a hotel that provides two types of rooms with three rental classes: Super Saver, Deluxe, and Business. The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows:
Rental Class
Super Saver Deluxe Busines
Room Type I $25 $30
Type II $20 $30 $40
Type I rooms do not have high-speed wireless Internet access and are not available for the Business rental class. Round Tree's management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class. The demand forecast for a particular night is 120 rentals in the Super Saver class, 55 in the Deluxe class, and 50 in the Business class. Round Tree has 90 Type I rooms and 120 Type II rooms.
