The Hampton Inn in Stow, Ohio, has two sets of employees, the front desk staff and the housekeeping staff. There is always one front desk clerk on duty at all times, 24/7, and all of the front desk clerks make $8.00 an hour.The housekeeping staff is also paid $8.00 an hour, but they are paid for the number of hours that it takes them to clean the rooms in the hotel. Each room takes 30 minutes to clean, but if a room has not been used the night before, it does not have to be cleaned, so the housekeeping staff work fewer hours on days when the hotel is not as full.The hotel calculates its profitability on a per-room basis, since they have some costs that vary with the number of rooms that are occupied on a particular night. Right now, their costs other than staff wages are marketing expenses of $5,400 per month, management salaries of $60,000 per month, and general overhead (costs like utilities and insurance) of $30,000 per month.The hotel has 50 rooms, all of which rent for the same price per night.Assuming a 30-day month, what are the hotel’s total fixed costs per day?
