Andrew has two types of costs: room construction costs and guest service costs. Thecost of servicing any guest is 50 dollars. The cost of building a room is 400 dollars, but rooms canbe used for both types of day.

- For each of the following scenarios, begin by assuming that all demand factors are set to their original values and that Big Winner is charging $200 per room per night. If average household income increases by 10%, from $50,000 to $55,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Big Winner from rooms per night to rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is ,meaning that hotel rooms at the Big Winner are If the price of a room at the Lucky were to decrease by 10%, from $250 to $225, while all other demand factors remain at their initial values, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Big Winner from rooms per night to rooms per night. Because the cross-price elasticity of demand is , hotel rooms at the Big Winner and hotel rooms at the Lucky are Big Winner is debating decreasing the price of its rooms to $175 per night.
