    Here's the options:

    a. the Swiss Chalet had higher occupancy than its competitive set in 2019

    b. the Swiss Chalet had lower occupancy than its competitive set in 2019

    c. the Swiss Chalet had identical occupancy to its competitive set in 2019

    d. the Swiss Chalet had 2.5% higher occupancy than ALL of its competitors combined

    Answer:

    a

    Explanation:

    Note that hotels employ a method that allows them measure the percentage of available rooms they sold during a specified period of time.

    First, Occupancy is calculated by using the formula

    = Rooms Sold / Rooms Available.

    Second, the Occupancy Index is calculated by the Formula

    Occupancy / competitive set Occupancy * 100.

    By standard practice, if the the hotel's Occupancy Index is 1.25 it means it has a higher occupancy than its competitive set.
