Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is lined with virtually identical motels. 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.
