    1/3rd of the guests are leisure travelers

    2/3rd of the guests are business travelers

    Average leisure travelers stay for 3.6 nights

    Average business travelers stay for 3.6*1/2 = 1.8

    a)

    It is given that on average day 135 guests check into The Evanstonian (R)

    Leisure travelers = 135*1/3=45 guests per day (night)

    Average number of leisure travelers = 45*3.6 = 162 guests

    Business travelers = 135*2/3 = 90 guests per night

    Average number of business travelers = 90*1.8 = 162 guests

    b)

    Total inventory = Leisure travelers + Business travelers = 162*2 = 324

    Inventory turns = R/total inventory = 135/324 = 0.4167 turns per day

    per month: 0.4167 * 30 = 12.5 turns

    c)

    324 rooms are booked for a night on average

    We calculated that half of them are booked by leisure and half by business travelers

    Therefore, average revenue is 1/2*250 + 1/2 * 210 = 125 + 105 = $230
