Question 1Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Which metric is calculated by dividing the number of rooms sold by the number of rooms available during a period?

  1. Occupancy Correct answer.
  2. Average daily rate (ADR)
  3. Gross operating profit per available room (GOPPAR)
  4. Revenue per available room (RevPAR)

Explanation

Occupancy measures the share of available room inventory that was sold during a period. ADR measures the average revenue earned per occupied room, while RevPAR measures rooms revenue per available room. GOPPAR measures profitability rather than room utilization.

Question 2Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel reports $120,000 in rooms revenue and 800 rooms sold. What is its ADR?

  1. $180
  2. $150 Correct answer.
  3. $96
  4. $240

Explanation

ADR is rooms revenue divided by rooms sold. Here, $120,000 divided by 800 rooms equals $150. This metric reflects the average room rate achieved on occupied rooms.

Question 3Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Which formula correctly expresses RevPAR?

  1. ADR divided by occupancy
  2. Rooms revenue divided by rooms sold
  3. Occupancy divided by ADR
  4. Occupancy multiplied by ADR Correct answer.

Explanation

RevPAR equals occupancy multiplied by ADR, or equivalently rooms revenue divided by rooms available. It captures both the price achieved and the proportion of rooms sold. Dividing rooms revenue by rooms sold gives ADR, not RevPAR.

Question 4Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

In the chain-scale classification, which segment sits at the top, above upper-upscale?

  1. Luxury Correct answer.
  2. Upscale
  3. Economy
  4. Midscale

Explanation

The chain scales run from luxury at the top through upper-upscale, upscale, upper-midscale, midscale, and economy. Luxury hotels generally offer the highest service levels and room rates. Upscale and midscale sit below upper-upscale.

Question 5Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Which guest segment typically consists of airline crew and long-stay corporate accounts booked at negotiated rates?

  1. Group
  2. Leisure
  3. Transient
  4. Contract Correct answer.

Explanation

The contract segment covers rooms sold under negotiated agreements, often to airline crews or other long-stay accounts. Group business involves blocks of rooms for meetings or events, while transient business covers individual bookings. Contract business usually carries a lower rate but provides a base of demand.

Question 6Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

What does GDS stand for in hotel distribution?

  1. Global Distribution System Correct answer.
  2. Group Delivery Service
  3. General Demand Schedule
  4. Guest Data System

Explanation

GDS stands for Global Distribution System, a platform that connects travel agents and other intermediaries to hotel inventory. Examples include systems used by travel agencies to book airline, car, and hotel products. It is distinct from a property management system or a loyalty database.

Question 7Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Under a typical management contract, the base management fee is usually calculated as a percentage of what?

  1. Gross operating profit
  2. Rooms revenue only
  3. Net operating income
  4. Total revenue Correct answer.

Explanation

Base management fees are commonly calculated as a percentage of total revenue, reflecting the operator's management of the entire business. Incentive fees are more often tied to profitability measures such as GOP or NOI. Using rooms revenue alone would ignore food, beverage, and other revenue streams.

Question 8Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Net operating income (NOI) is best described as which of the following?

  1. Gross operating profit minus management fees
  2. Gross operating profit minus fixed charges such as property taxes and insurance Correct answer.
  3. Total revenue minus departmental expenses
  4. Rooms revenue minus rooms expenses

Explanation

NOI is gross operating profit less fixed charges that are not controlled by hotel operations, such as property taxes, insurance, and ground rent. It is a key input for valuation and lender underwriting. Departmental expenses are already deducted before GOP is calculated.

Question 9Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel's RevPAR is $120 and its competitive set's RevPAR is $150. What is the hotel's RevPAR index?

  1. 100
  2. 180
  3. 80 Correct answer.
  4. 125

Explanation

RevPAR index equals the hotel's RevPAR divided by the comp set's RevPAR, multiplied by 100. Here, $120 divided by $150 equals 0.80, or an index of 80. An index below 100 indicates underperformance versus the comp set.

Question 10Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Why might TRevPAR be more informative than RevPAR for a full-service hotel with large F&B and meeting space?

  1. It measures only profit
  2. It excludes contract business
  3. It captures revenue from all departments per available room Correct answer.
  4. It ignores rooms revenue

Explanation

TRevPAR divides total hotel revenue, including rooms, food and beverage, and other departments, by available rooms. For a full-service hotel with significant non-rooms revenue, TRevPAR better reflects total revenue productivity. RevPAR captures only rooms revenue.

Question 11Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel has 200 rooms and gross operating profit of $2,190,000 for the year. What is GOPPAR?

  1. $24.50
  2. $18.00
  3. $30.00 Correct answer.
  4. $36.50

Explanation

GOPPAR equals gross operating profit divided by available rooms for the period. The hotel has 200 rooms times 365 days, or 73,000 available room-nights. Dividing $2,190,000 by 73,000 gives $30.00.

Question 12Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

If a hotel's revenue increases by $400,000 and its gross operating profit increases by $120,000, what is the flow-through percentage?

  1. 30% Correct answer.
  2. 12%
  3. 20%
  4. 25%

Explanation

Flow-through measures the share of incremental revenue that converts into profit. Here, $120,000 divided by $400,000 equals 30%. A higher flow-through indicates stronger conversion of revenue growth into gross operating profit.

Question 13Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Which statement best describes the franchise model in lodging?

  1. The franchisor owns the real estate and employs all hotel staff
  2. The brand bears all operating risk and guarantees profit
  3. The owner operates under a brand's name and pays royalty and marketing fees while retaining operating risk Correct answer.
  4. The owner receives a base fee calculated as a percentage of total revenue

Explanation

In a franchise arrangement, the property owner retains ownership and operating risk while paying the brand for access to its name, reservation systems, standards, and marketing. The franchisor typically does not employ the hotel staff or guarantee profit. Management contracts, by contrast, involve an operator managing the business for fees.

Question 14Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

In the OTA merchant model, how does the hotel typically get paid?

  1. The hotel collects the full retail rate from the guest and pays the OTA a commission
  2. The guest pays at checkout directly to the hotel with no OTA involvement
  3. The OTA collects payment from the guest and remits the hotel a net rate Correct answer.
  4. The GDS collects payment and remits the hotel

Explanation

In the merchant model, the OTA collects payment from the guest and pays the hotel a pre-negotiated net rate, keeping the markup. In the agency model, the hotel collects the retail rate and pays the OTA a commission. The distinction affects cash flow and revenue recognition.

Question 15Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

What is the primary purpose of a competitive set (comp set)?

  1. To calculate food cost
  2. To set employee scheduling
  3. To benchmark a hotel's performance against similar hotels
  4. To determine property tax Correct answer.

Explanation

A comp set is a group of hotels selected as peers for benchmarking occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR. Performance indices compare the subject hotel with this set to assess relative market position. Comp sets are used for revenue management and owner reporting, not for tax or cost accounting.

Question 16Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel shifts mix from group to transient leisure during a compression period. What is the most likely effect on ADR?

  1. ADR falls because group rates are higher
  2. ADR is unchanged because occupancy is fixed
  3. ADR falls because leisure guests pay less
  4. ADR rises because transient leisure rates in compression exceed negotiated group rates Correct answer.

Explanation

During compression, transient leisure demand can support higher rates than pre-negotiated group contracts. Shifting mix toward transient leisure therefore tends to raise ADR. Group rates are often negotiated in advance and may not reflect peak-period pricing.

Question 17Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

What does booking window measure?

  1. The number of days between reservation creation and arrival Correct answer.
  2. The time between checkout and payment
  3. The length of the guest's stay
  4. The duration of a group contract

Explanation

Booking window measures how far in advance a reservation is made relative to the arrival date. It is a key input for demand forecasting and revenue management. Length of stay measures nights per reservation, which is a different metric.

Question 18Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel produces NOI of $2.4 million and is valued at $30 million. What capitalization rate does this imply?

  1. 8.0% Correct answer.
  2. 10.0%
  3. 12.5%
  4. 6.0%

Explanation

The capitalization rate equals NOI divided by property value. Here, $2.4 million divided by $30 million equals 0.08, or 8.0%. Cap rates are used in the income approach to value hotel properties.

Question 19Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Under USALI, which of the following is an undistributed operating expense?

  1. Guest laundry commission
  2. Rooms department labor
  3. Administrative and general Correct answer.
  4. Food and beverage cost of sales

Explanation

Undistributed operating expenses support the hotel overall rather than a single revenue department. Administrative and general is a classic undistributed expense, along with sales and marketing, property operations and maintenance, and utilities. Rooms labor and F&B cost of sales are departmental expenses.

Question 20Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A resort whose occupancy peaks in July and troughs in January is best described as having what?

  1. A flat demand pattern
  2. A contract-driven base
  3. Seasonality Correct answer.
  4. A permanent compression set

Explanation

Seasonality describes predictable variation in demand across the calendar, often driven by weather, holidays, or events. A resort with a July peak and January trough exhibits seasonal demand. Revenue managers respond with seasonal pricing and segment mix strategies.

Question 21Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Hotel A has 300 rooms, sells 240 rooms at an ADR of $180. Its comp set has 1,200 rooms, sells 900 rooms at an ADR of $160. Which statement is correct about Hotel A's performance?

  1. Hotel A's RevPAR index is 100 because occupancy and ADR offset
  2. Hotel A's RevPAR index is 120, indicating it outperforms the comp set Correct answer.
  3. Hotel A's RevPAR index is 90, indicating underperformance
  4. Hotel A's RevPAR index is 112.5 due to ADR only

Explanation

Hotel A's occupancy is 80% and its RevPAR is $144; the comp set's occupancy is 75% and its RevPAR is $120. Dividing $144 by $120 and multiplying by 100 gives a RevPAR index of 120. An index above 100 means the hotel outperforms its competitive set on RevPAR.

Question 22Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel's revenue falls from $10.0 million to $9.4 million while GOP falls from $3.0 million to $2.64 million. What is the flow-through on the revenue decline?

  1. 36%
  2. 6%
  3. 60% Correct answer.
  4. 40%

Explanation

Flow-through on a decline measures the share of lost revenue that becomes lost profit. Revenue fell by $600,000 and GOP fell by $360,000; dividing $360,000 by $600,000 gives 60%. A 60% flow-through means the hotel retained 40% of each lost revenue dollar as cost savings.

Question 23Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A management contract specifies a base fee of 3% of total revenue and an incentive fee of 10% of GOP. Total revenue is $12 million and GOP is $3.6 million. What are total management fees?

  1. $360,000
  2. $720,000 Correct answer.
  3. $540,000
  4. $1,080,000

Explanation

The base fee is 3% of $12 million, or $360,000. The incentive fee is 10% of $3.6 million, or $360,000. Adding the two gives total management fees of $720,000.

Question 24Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A market's demand grows 4% while supply grows 6%. Assuming no change in the relationship between occupancy and rate, what is the most likely effect on market-wide RevPAR?

  1. RevPAR is unaffected because supply and demand both grow
  2. Occupancy pressure is likely, and RevPAR growth may be constrained or negative Correct answer.
  3. RevPAR rises because demand growth is positive
  4. RevPAR falls sharply because supply growth always destroys rate

Explanation

When supply grows faster than demand, market occupancy tends to decline. Lower occupancy can pressure rate as hotels compete for remaining demand, constraining RevPAR growth. Positive demand growth alone does not guarantee RevPAR growth if new supply outpaces it.

Question 25Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A 250-room hotel trades for $45 million. Its NOI is $3.15 million. What is the implied value per room and cap rate?

  1. $150,000 per room and 8.0%
  2. $225,000 per room and 7.5%
  3. $200,000 per room and 6.5%
  4. $180,000 per room and 7.0% Correct answer.

Explanation

Value per room equals $45 million divided by 250 rooms, or $180,000. The cap rate equals NOI divided by value, so $3.15 million divided by $45 million equals 7.0%. These two metrics are commonly used together in hotel valuation.

Question 26Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A 250-room hotel sold 180 rooms last night. What was its occupancy percentage?

  1. 65%
  2. 80%
  3. 75%
  4. 72% Correct answer.

Explanation

Occupancy equals rooms sold divided by rooms available: 180 ÷ 250 = 0.72, or 72%. It measures the proportion of sellable inventory occupied during the period.

Question 27Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel generated $36,000 in rooms revenue from 200 rooms sold. What was its ADR?

  1. $160
  2. $220
  3. $180 Correct answer.
  4. $200

Explanation

ADR is rooms revenue divided by rooms sold: $36,000 ÷ 200 = $180. It represents the average nightly rate achieved on occupied rooms.

Question 28Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Under USALI, which of the following is a rooms department expense?

  1. Housekeeping wages Correct answer.
  2. General manager's salary
  3. Property taxes
  4. Interest expense

Explanation

Housekeeping wages are incurred directly in the rooms department and are reported as a departmental expense. Property taxes and interest are fixed charges below GOP, while the general manager's salary is an undistributed administrative cost.

Question 29Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

What does ADR stand for in hotel performance reporting?

  1. Adjusted Departure Rate
  2. Available Daily Rooms
  3. Annual Daily Revenue
  4. Average Daily Rate Correct answer.

Explanation

ADR is Average Daily Rate, calculated as rooms revenue divided by rooms sold. It is a core rooms revenue metric used alongside occupancy and RevPAR.

Question 30Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A guest with a confirmed reservation is relocated to another hotel because the original hotel is overbooked. What is this practice called?

  1. Walking the guest Correct answer.
  2. Blocking the guest
  3. Upgrading the guest
  4. Overstaying the guest

Explanation

Walking occurs when an overbooked hotel moves a confirmed guest to another property, usually at the hotel's expense. It is an operational remedy for overselling.

Question 31Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

What does length of stay (LOS) measure?

  1. Number of rooms in a reservation
  2. Time a room remains out of order
  3. Time between reservation and arrival
  4. Nights a guest occupies a room Correct answer.

Explanation

LOS is the count of nights a guest stays, often used in revenue management to evaluate booking patterns and minimum-stay restrictions. The reservation-to-arrival gap is the booking window.

Question 32Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Which distribution channel is typically owned and controlled by the hotel and does not pay a third-party commission?

  1. Direct hotel website Correct answer.
  2. Online travel agency
  3. Wholesaler
  4. Global distribution system

Explanation

The hotel's own website is a direct channel controlled by the property or brand, so it generally avoids third-party commission. OTAs, GDSs, and wholesalers are intermediated channels that charge fees or commissions.

Question 33Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A 300-room hotel has 9,000 available room nights in a 30-day month. It sold 7,200 room nights and earned $1,008,000 in rooms revenue. What is its RevPAR?

  1. $126
  2. $112 Correct answer.
  3. $100
  4. $140

Explanation

ADR is $1,008,000 ÷ 7,200 = $140, and occupancy is 7,200 ÷ 9,000 = 80%. RevPAR is $140 × 0.80 = $112, or rooms revenue ÷ available rooms = $1,008,000 ÷ 9,000 = $112.

Question 34Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel has an occupancy index of 105 and an ADR index of 98. What is its RevPAR index?

  1. 107.0
  2. 96.0
  3. 102.9 Correct answer.
  4. 103.0

Explanation

RevPAR index equals occupancy index multiplied by ADR index, divided by 100: 105 × 98 ÷ 100 = 102.9. The hotel is gaining occupancy share but losing rate share, netting a slight RevPAR premium.

Question 35Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Which index measures a hotel's share of total revenue relative to its competitive set?

  1. Revenue Generation Index (RGI) Correct answer.
  2. Occupancy penetration index
  3. Revenue per available room index
  4. Average daily rate index

Explanation

RGI compares the hotel's total revenue share with its fair share of the competitive set. Occupancy index and ADR index isolate those components, while RevPAR index covers rooms revenue per available room.

Question 36Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A market has stable demand, and a new 200-room hotel opens. What is the most likely effect on market occupancy?

  1. It rises because more rooms attract more guests
  2. It stays exactly the same because demand is stable
  3. It falls as supply grows with demand unchanged Correct answer.
  4. It rises only if the new hotel charges higher rates

Explanation

Market occupancy is demand divided by supply. With demand unchanged and supply higher, the ratio falls unless the new hotel stimulates enough additional demand to offset the added rooms.

Question 37Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel has total rooms department expenses of $2,800,000 and 102,200 occupied rooms. What is its cost per occupied room (CPOR)?

  1. $30.00
  2. $28.00
  3. $25.50
  4. $27.40 Correct answer.

Explanation

CPOR equals rooms department expenses divided by occupied rooms: $2,800,000 ÷ 102,200 ≈ $27.40. It helps managers assess rooms cost efficiency per sold room.

Question 38Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel has revenue of $12 million and gross operating profit (GOP) of $4.2 million. What is its GOP margin?

  1. 28%
  2. 30%
  3. 38%
  4. 35% Correct answer.

Explanation

GOP margin is GOP divided by total revenue: $4.2 million ÷ $12 million = 0.35, or 35%. It shows operating profitability before fixed charges and reserves.

Question 39Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

Under USALI, which of the following is classified as a fixed charge?

  1. Property taxes Correct answer.
  2. Food cost
  3. Marketing expense
  4. Rooms labor

Explanation

Property taxes are a fixed charge deducted after GOP to arrive at NOI. Rooms labor and food cost are departmental expenses, while marketing is an undistributed operating expense.

Question 40Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

In hotel revenue management, what is a hurdle rate?

  1. The maximum occupancy a hotel can physically achieve
  2. The rate charged for the highest-priced suite
  3. The lowest acceptable rate for a room night Correct answer.
  4. The commission percentage paid to an OTA

Explanation

A hurdle rate is the minimum rate at which a room night is considered worth accepting, given demand and displacement considerations. It helps revenue managers decide whether to take lower-rated business.

Question 41Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

What is the primary operational purpose of a hotel property management system (PMS)?

  1. To calculate the hotel's real estate taxes
  2. To run front-desk and room inventory Correct answer.
  3. To design the hotel's marketing brochures
  4. To set the hotel's annual capital budget

Explanation

A PMS supports front-office operations such as reservations, check-in and check-out, room assignment, and folio billing. It is the operational system of record for room inventory and guest stays.

Question 42Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel has 50,000 available rooms. It earns $5 million in rooms revenue, $2 million in F&B revenue, and $0.5 million in other revenue. What is its TRevPAR?

  1. $100
  2. $150 Correct answer.
  3. $170
  4. $140

Explanation

TRevPAR is total revenue divided by available rooms: ($5M + $2M + $0.5M) ÷ 50,000 = $7.5M ÷ 50,000 = $150. It captures all revenue streams, not just rooms.

Question 43Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A 120-room hotel has 108 rooms occupied and 6 rooms out of order. What is its occupancy percentage?

  1. 90.0%
  2. 94.7% Correct answer.
  3. 100.0%
  4. 85.0%

Explanation

Occupancy is rooms sold divided by sellable rooms; out-of-order rooms are excluded from available inventory. Sellable rooms are 120 − 6 = 114, so 108 ÷ 114 ≈ 94.7%.

Question 44Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

What does rate parity mean in hotel distribution?

  1. The same room rate is offered across all channels Correct answer.
  2. The lowest rate is reserved for loyalty members
  3. Rates are set based on competitor occupancy
  4. Different rates are charged for each guest segment

Explanation

Rate parity means the same publicly available room rate is offered across distribution channels, such as the hotel website and OTAs. It is intended to prevent channel conflict and price undercutting.

Question 45Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel's RevPAR index is 110 and its occupancy index is 102. What is its ADR index?

  1. 107.8 Correct answer.
  2. 104.0
  3. 112.2
  4. 98.0

Explanation

ADR index equals RevPAR index divided by occupancy index, multiplied by 100: (110 ÷ 102) × 100 ≈ 107.8. The hotel is earning a higher RevPAR index mainly through rate, since occupancy share is only slightly above 100.

Question 46Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A 300-room hotel has 70% occupancy and ADR $180. It considers a group of 100 rooms at $150 for 3 nights. It expects to displace 60 transient room nights per night at $180. What is the net revenue effect?

  1. −$32,400
  2. +$12,600 Correct answer.
  3. +$45,000
  4. +$32,400

Explanation

Group revenue is 100 rooms × 3 nights × $150 = $45,000. Displaced transient revenue is 60 rooms × 3 nights × $180 = $32,400, so net revenue effect is $45,000 − $32,400 = +$12,600.

Question 47Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel has total revenue of $15 million, GOP margin of 30%, fixed charges of $1.8 million, and an FF&E reserve of 4% of total revenue. What is its NOI?

  1. $4.5 million
  2. $1.5 million
  3. $2.7 million
  4. $2.1 million Correct answer.

Explanation

GOP is 30% × $15M = $4.5M. NOI subtracts fixed charges of $1.8M and the FF&E reserve of 4% × $15M = $0.6M, giving $4.5M − $1.8M − $0.6M = $2.1M.

Question 48Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A 150-room hotel has 20 rooms out of order for 10 days in a 30-day month. It sells 3,300 room nights and earns $495,000 in rooms revenue. What is its RevPAR?

  1. $112.50
  2. $108.33
  3. $110.00
  4. $115.12 Correct answer.

Explanation

Available room nights are (150 × 30) − (20 × 10) = 4,500 − 200 = 4,300. RevPAR is rooms revenue divided by available rooms: $495,000 ÷ 4,300 ≈ $115.12.

Question 49Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel has NOI of $2.0 million and is valued at a 7.5% cap rate. If the market cap rate expands by 50 basis points and NOI is unchanged, what happens to value?

  1. Value remains $26.7 million
  2. Value falls to about $20.0 million
  3. Value rises to about $28.6 million
  4. Value falls to about $25.0 million Correct answer.

Explanation

Value equals NOI divided by cap rate. At 7.5%, value is $2.0M ÷ 0.075 = $26.67M; at 8.0%, value is $2.0M ÷ 0.08 = $25.0M, so value falls.

Question 50Hotel Industry Fundamentals and Performance Metrics

A hotel's total revenue rises from $8.0 million to $8.5 million, while its gross operating profit (GOP) rises from $2.4 million to $2.6 million. What is the hotel's GOP flow-through percentage?

  1. 40% Correct answer.
  2. 30%
  3. 60%
  4. 50%

Explanation

Flow-through measures how much of each additional revenue dollar converts into additional GOP. It is calculated as the change in GOP divided by the change in total revenue: $200,000 ÷ $500,000 = 40%. This shows that 40 cents of every incremental revenue dollar reached GOP.
