the answer is bAs the manager of a hotel, you want to increase occupancies by 6%......?
Correct Answer:





B: The price elasticity (of demand) is 0.5, meaning for every $1 increase in price, the quantity demanded will decrease by $0.5, vice versa.





Wrong Answers:





C: Because the demand is fairly unresponsive to price changes, so the increase in revenue caused by the increase in quantity demanded will be less than the decrease in revenue from smaller profit margins; there is a net fall in revenue.





A: Price Elasticity is of Demand (PED) figure determines whether or not a good is (in)elastic in demand.


Relatively Inelastic: 0%26lt;n%26lt;1


Unit Elastic: n = 1


Relatively Elastic: 1%26lt;n%26lt;inf.


Therefore, the demand for hotel rooms is price elastic.





D: For the elasticity of demand to be 0.5, or inelastic, the service must have few close substitutes (eg. other hotels in the area, motels, etc.).

Is it legal to advertise ';Women Can only apply'; for the post of duty manager of a hotel?/?

I am just wondering if there is any kind of legal act or something that tells me about the legality of that statement for an advertisement........... I am not looking for ethics but for legal issues regarding that.Is it legal to advertise ';Women Can only apply'; for the post of duty manager of a hotel?/?
In most cases, this is illegal. Discrimination on the basis of gender is generally illegal, and advertisements that limit applicants to a specific gender are illegal for the same reason. There are certain limited circumstances where this might be legal, e.g., an attendant in a women's restroom. However, this is rare. The advertisement itself is a red flag to the anti-discrimination agencies that you are practicing illegal gender discrimination.Is it legal to advertise ';Women Can only apply'; for the post of duty manager of a hotel?/?
Just post the advert without any restrictions, and hire the best female applicant. Don't mention to any applicant that you are only going to hire a woman. You get what you want, and the government leaves you alone.





Just remember, a fish wouldn't get caught if it kept its mouth shut.
Unless you wish to draw negative attention to yourself or the company, i would not advertise that, it will be a headache for you. Accept all applicants equally and then YOU can select a woman to fill the position without making it public knowledge.
If it's a woman only hotel or country club/spa, or religious then it's legal, if it's a mixed sex hotel it's illegal
