Surveys reveal that the vast majority of hotel guests in the United States resent the high
prices of the items in the mini-bars in their hotel rooms.These guests would prefer to have an
empty refrigerator in their rooms in order to have space to put their own food and beverages,
although a large percentage of these guests would still make at least one purchase from their
in-room mini-bar. After analyzing the results of the study, the management of Hotel T
decided that it would be more profitable to eliminate the mini-bar and install empty
refrigerators in each room. Which of the following, if true, would support Hotel T’s plan to
increase profitability by eliminating in room mini-bars in favor of empty refrigerators?
A) There is currently some space available in Hotel T’s in-room mini-bars for guests to put their
own items.
b) Hotel T is located in the United States.
c) Some guests of Hotel T do not make any purchases from their in-room mini-bars.
d) The money that Hotel T makes from the mini-bar purchases of its guests is less than the
money that Hotel T loses from discarding mini-bar items that have not sold by their
expiration dates.
e) It will cost Hotel T less money to maintain empty refrigerators in its guest rooms than to
maintain stocked mini-bars in those rooms.
