Double Tree Hilton is a hotel that provides two types of rooms with three rental classes: Super Saver, Deluxe, and Business. The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows:
Rental Class
Super Saver
Deluxe
Business
Room
Type I
$30
$35
$50
Type II
$20
$30
$45
Double Tree's management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class.
The demand forecast for a particular night is 120 rentals in the Super Saver class, 60 in the Deluxe class, and 30 in the Business class. (These demands are the maximum numbers to accept for each rental class. The actual reservation may be less.) Double Tree has 100 Type I rooms and 130 Type II rooms. What is the maximum profits($)? What is the number of reservations accepted in super saver for Type II rooms?
