If the special offer earns a positive contribution margin, we should accept the special order.

Explanation:

Given that,

No. of suites in luxury hotel = 160

Regular suite rate = $210 per night per suite

Hotel’s cost per night = $135 per suite

Variable direct labor and materials cost = $36

Fixed cost = 99

Total cost per night per suite = $135

Contribution margin per night per suite:

= Room rate per night - Variable cost per night

= $94 - $36

= $58

Contribution margin from special offer:

= Contribution margin per night per suite × Number of nights × Number of suits

= $58 × 3 × 45

= $7,830

Management should accept the special offer.

When the company receives offer, the hotel is running at low season. occupancy rate is 55%

If the special offer earns a positive contribution margin, we should accept the special order.

Room rate is $94 for special order.
