 Here are the step-by-step calculations and answers for the Total Hotel Management (THM) question:

1. Earnings Breakdown

Daily Booking Revenue

Each booking generates 4 nights of room stay at £60.00 per night:

  • Value per booking: 4 \text{ nights} \times £60.00 = £240.00
  • Total Daily Booking Revenue: 12 \text{ bookings} \times £240.00 = £2,880.00

Daily Food Revenue

  • Total Daily Food Revenue: 70 \text{ orders} \times £15.00 = £1,050.00

Total Combined Revenue per Day

  • Total Daily Revenue: £2,880.00 \text{ (Bookings)} + £1,050.00 \text{ (Food)} = £3,930.00

2. VAT Calculations (at 20%)

Depending on whether your course treats prices as Tax-Exclusive (VAT added on top) or Tax-Inclusive (VAT built into the price), both common interpretations are detailed below:

Method A: Tax-Exclusive (VAT added to gross sales)

  • VAT per Day: £3,930.00 \times 20\% = £786.00
  • VAT per Week (7 days): £786.00 \times 7 = £5,502.00
  • VAT per Month (30 days): £786.00 \times 30 = £23,580.00 (or £23,907.50 based on an average 30.42-day month)

Method B: Tax-Inclusive (VAT extracted from gross total)

  • VAT Fraction: \frac{20}{120} = \frac{1}{6}
  • VAT per Day: £3,930.00 \div 6 = £655.00
  • VAT per Week (7 days): £655.00 \times 7 = £4,585.00
  • VAT per Month (30 days): £655.00 \times 30 = £19,650.00 (or £19,922.92 based on an average 30.42-day month)

3. VAT Collected per Day at 49% Rate

  • Tax-Exclusive Method: £3,930.00 \times 49\% = £1,925.70
  • Tax-Inclusive Method: £3,930.00 \times \left(\frac{49}{149}\right) = £1,292.42
