In early 2008, you purchased and remodeled a 120-room hotel to handle the increased number of conventions coming to town. by mid-2008, it became apparent that the recession would kill the demand for conventions. now, you forecast that you will only be able to sell 20,000 room-nights that cost on average $50 per room per night to service. you spent $20 million on the hotel in 2009, and your cost of capital is 10%. the current going price to sell the hotel is $15 million. what is your breakeven price?

To solve this problem, first let us calculate for the total cost:

Total cost = Capital cost + Cost of capital

Total cost = $ 20 M + 0.10* $ 20 M

Total cost = $ 22 M

The breakeven point would be the price in which the total earnings is equal to the total cost. Therefore:

$ 15M + 20,000 * X = $ 22 M

Where X is the breakeven price in dollars per room per night

Calculating for X:

20,000 * X = $ 7 M

X = $ 350

Therefore the break even price is $ 350 per room per night.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
