Transcribed Image Text:Donaldson Bed and Breakfast has six available rooms to rent to tourists visiting Niagara Falls.
Guests enjoy a comfortably appointed room with an attached bathroom and the owners
provide a hearty breakfast each morning. The owners have calculated that their typical
occupancy rate is 80% per month. The cost to rent each room is $65 per occupied room per
day assuming a 30-day month. Some of this cost is fixed and some variable. During the month
of June, the occupancy rate went down to 60% and the total cost to operate that month was
$7,650.
