A 60 room hotel is filled to capacity every night at a rate of $40 per room. The management wants
to determine if a rate increase would increase their profit. They are not interested in a rate decrease.
Suppose management determines that for each $2 increase in the nightly rate, five fewer rooms will
be rented. If each rented room costs $8 a day to service, how much should the management charge
per room to maximize profit?
The management should leave the rate as it is.
