The Terminus Hotel, a 200-room facility located in a medieval city in Southern Spain. As consequence of poor management and old-fashioned interior design. the hotel experienced slumping demand since 2001. In 2004, the hotel was on the brink of bankruptcy. All of a sudden, these dark prospects turned into hopeful ones; the hotel was located in a historic building and the regional authorities approached Mr. Leo D. Marcial, chair of the Chamber of Commerce, to mobilize local entrepreneurs in order to take over hotel ownership. After some discussions, the entrepreneurs agreed on bidding for the hotel to make t an exclusive, high profile and properly-managed facility. The entrepreneurs regarded the acquisition of the Teminus Hotel as an opportunity to enter the hospitality industry under convenient conditions; they could get a first-rate brand at a relatively cheap price. In January 2007, the new ownership completed thorough refurbishing of the facility, which comprised new furniture and state-of-the-art interior design. The hotel resumed operations in February 2007 (see Table 1).

The restaurant served haute cuisine designed and prepared by the team of a world- class chef, whilst entertainment consisted of flamenco singing and dancing. Restaurant and entertainment services were open to non-clents. In their own firms, the entrepreneurs had spare capacity in a number of support services. In a win- win move, alled firms supplied the hotel with full service in areas such as accounting, law, financing, advertising. gardening, receivables and the reservation center. The transfer prices for these transactions were below market prices (see Table 2).

In order to identify sources of problems, the entrepreneurs requested a profitability analysis for the three main services offered by the hotel. Cristina Aranda, the cost analyst of one of the alled firms and the person in charge of budget and control for the Terminus Hotel, teamed up with General Manager Claudia Santander to identify some cost categories (see Table 3).

This data excludes the support activities shown above: TABLE 5 DATA ABOUT ACCOMMODATION.

In order to generate alternative calculations, Cristina also prepared an allocation of all common costs using total revenues as single cost allocation basis. Claudia objected to both calculations. In her opinion, single cost allocations resulted in simplistic calculations that were unrealistic for decision-making purposes. As Claudia argued that the complexity of hotel services could only be captured by using multiple cost allocations, she prepared the following proposal (Table 6): TABLE 6 ALLOGATING COMMON COSTS BY USING MuA TIPLE COST ALLOCATON BASES Commen cost Cost allocation basis Value of property, plant and equipment Number of employees Financing, Maintenance Accounting and Taxation, Reservation Center, Advertising, Law, General Management, Admin Gardening.

In order to generate alternative calculations, Cristina also prepared an allocation of all common costs using total revenues as single cost allocation basis. Claudia objected to both calculations. In her opinion, single cost allocations resulted in simplistic calculations that were unrealistic for decision-making purposes. As Claudia argued that the complexity of hotel services could only be captured by using multiple cost allocations, she prepared the following proposal (Table 6): TABLE 6 ALLOGATING COMMON COSTS BY USING MuA TIPLE COST ALLOCATON BASES Commen cost Cost allocation basis Value of property, plant and equipment Number of employees Financing, Maintenance Accounting and Taxation, Reservation Center, Advertising, Law, General Management, Admin Gardening.

Therefore, to produce two tables: one table with net profitability of the 3 business areas using division revenues as cost allocation base of the corporate overhead and a second table with net profitability of the 3 business areas using division employees as cost allocation base of the corporate overhead. The Terminus Hotel, a 200-room facility located in a medieval city in Southern Spain. As consequence of poor management and old-fashioned interior design. the hotel experienced slumping demand since 2001. In 2004, the hotel was on the brink of bankruptcy. All of a sudden, these dark prospects turned into hopeful ones; the hotel was located in a historic building and the regional authorities approached Mr. Leo D. Marcial, chair of the Chamber of Commerce, to mobilize local entrepreneurs in order to take over hotel ownership. After some discussions, the entrepreneurs agreed on bidding for the hotel to make t an exclusive, high profile and properly-managed facility. The entrepreneurs regarded the acquisition of the Teminus Hotel as an opportunity to enter the hospitality industry under convenient conditions; they could get a first-rate brand at a relatively cheap price. In January 2007, the new ownership completed thorough refurbishing of the facility, which comprised new furniture and state-of-the-art interior design. The hotel resumed operations in February 2007 (see Table 1).
