Already facing stiff competition from other hotel chains as well as Airbnb, Maryton had run an operating loss in 2020 and 2021 and had responded by engaging in a broad effort to refresh hotel décor and update wi-fi and other infrastructure. That effort concluded in late 2021 and seemed to be showing success in early 2022. However, a variant of the COVID-19 virus reached pandemic status in mid-2022, and business and leisure travel fell off considerably. Occupancy rates at Maryton properties plunged, producing a $10 million pre-tax net operating loss for 2022. Maryton’s CEO has asked that George “work some of his accounting magic” to “put a positive spin on things” and minimize Maryton’s net loss, hoping to calm concerns being voiced by investors and lenders.Required:Assume Maryton has a 25% tax rate.
