The McIntyre Resort (MR), which is privately owned, is a world famous luxury hotel and golf complex. It has been chosen as the venue to stage ‘The Robyn Cup’, a golf tournament which is contested by teams of golfers from across the globe, which is scheduled to take place during July 2009. MR will offer accommodation for each of the five nights on which guests would require accommodation.
The following information is available regarding the period of the tournament:
(1) Hotel data:
Total rooms 2,400
Room mix:
Double rooms 75%
Single rooms 15%
Family rooms 10%
Fee per room per night ($):
Double rooms 400
Single rooms 300
Family rooms 600
Number of guests per room:
Double rooms 2
Single rooms 1
Family rooms 4
When occupied, all rooms will contain the number of guests as above.
Costs:
Variable cost per guest per night $100
Attributable fixed costs for the five-day period:
Double rooms $516,000
Single and family rooms (total) $300,000
(2) Accommodation for guests is provided on an all-inclusive basis (meals, drinks, entertainment etc).
(3) The objective of the hotel management is to maximise profit.
(4) The hotel management expect all single and family rooms to be ‘sold out’ for each of the five nights of the
tournament. However, they are unsure whether the fee in respect of double rooms should be increased or
decreased. At a price of $400 per room per night they expect an occupancy rate of 80% of available double
rooms. For each $10 increase/decrease they expect the number of rooms to decrease/increase by 40.
Required:
(a) (i) Calculate the profit-maximising fee per double room that MR should charge per night during the
tournament; (6 marks)
(ii) Calculate how much profit would be earned from staging the tournament as a consequence of charging
that fee. (4 marks)
(b) The management of the hotel are concerned by the level of variable costs per guest night to be incurred in respect of the tournament. A recent review of proposed operational activities has concluded that variable cost per guest per night in all rooms in the hotel would be reduced by 20% if proposed changes in operational activities were made. However, this would result in additional attributable fixed costs amounting to $200,000 in respect of the five day period.
Required:
Advise management whether, on purely financial grounds, they should make the proposed changes in
operational activities. (6 marks)
(c) Discuss TWO initiatives that management might consider in order to further improve the profit from staging the golf tournament. (4 marks)

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted
The independent board of governors (an independent oversight body comprised of local residents, parents and other concerned citizens) of the state-funded Chambon school for 11–16 year old children met to consider its most recent set of public examination results. A key responsibility placed upon the school’s governors is the delivery, to its local government authority, of a report on exam performance in a full and timely manner. A report on both the exam results and the reasons for any improvement or deterioration over previous years are required from the governors each year. Accordingly, this annual meeting on exam performance was always considered to be very important. Although the school taught the national curriculum (a standard syllabus taught in all schools in the country) as required of it, the exam results at Chambon had deteriorated in recent years and on this particular occasion, they were very poor indeed. In order to address the weaknesses in the school, Chambon’s budget had increased in recent years and a number of new teachers had been employed to help improve results. Despite this, exam performance continued to fall. A recent overspend against budget was funded through the closure of part of the school library and the sale of a sports field.
One member of the board of governors was Sally Murol. She believed that the local government authority might attempt to close Chambon school if these exam results were reported with no convincing explanation. One solution to avoid this threat, she said, was to either send the report in late or to select only the best results and submit a partial report so the school’s performance looked better than it actually was. There is no central computerised exam results service in the country in which Chambon is located by which the local authority could establish the exam performance at Chambon school.
A general feeling of the governors’ meeting was that perhaps the school needed some new leadership and it was time to remove the existing headteacher. Mr Besse had been in the role for many years and his management style. was thought to be ineffective. He was widely liked by staff in the school because he believed that each teacher knew best how to manage their teaching, and so he tried not to intervene wherever possible. Mr Besse had sometimes disagreed with the governors when they suggested changes which could be made to improve exam performance, preferring to rely on what he believed were tried and tested ways of managing his teaching staff. He was thought to be very loyal to longstanding colleagues and had a dislike of confrontation.
Required:
(a) Explain, using evidence from the case, the characteristics which identify Chambon school as a public sector organisation and assess how its objectives as a public sector organisation have not been met. (10 marks)
(b) Explain the roles of a board of governors in the governance of Chambon school and discuss, in the context of Sally Murol’s suggestion, the importance of transparency in the board of governors dealings with the local government authority. (9 marks)
(c) Discuss the potential advantages to Chambon school of replacing the headteacher in seeking to address its problems. (6 marks)
