, Question 1
A hotel's revenue manager observes that ADR rose 8% while RevPAR rose
only 2% over the same period. Which market mix shift most plausibly explains
this divergence?
A. A higher proportion of group business displacing transient rooms at
premium rates
B. An increase in high-rate transient demand accompanied by a decline in
occupancy
C. Growth in discounted OTA opaque inventory offsetting rate gains with
occupancy loss
D. A rise in complimentary and house-use rooms reducing the paid
occupancy denominator
Correct Answer: C - Growth in discounted OTA opaque
inventory offsetting rate gains with occupancy loss
RATIONALE
RevPAR = ADR × occupancy, so ADR growth exceeding RevPAR
growth implies occupancy fell; a mix shift toward discounted opaque
OTA inventory raises blended ADR modestly while eroding paid
occupancy. Group displacement (A) typically lifts both ADR and
occupancy, and complimentary rooms (D) affect statistical occupancy,
not paid RevPAR. High-rate transient with falling occupancy (B)
would show ADR gains but is less consistent with the specific
OTA-mix mechanism.
Question 2
Under USALI 12th Edition, which treatment of a hotel's loyalty-program
redemption costs is correct for the operator's income statement?
A. Record as a contra-revenue deduction allocated to the revenue
department generating the stay
B. Record as an operating expense in the A&G department when points
are redeemed
Page 2
, C. Record as a marketing expense when points are earned rather than
when redeemed
D. Record as an other-income charge at the property level when the brand
bills the owner
Correct Answer: A - Record as a contra-revenue deduction
allocated to the revenue department generating the stay
RATIONALE
USALI 12th Edition directs loyalty redemption reimbursements to the
brand be treated as a revenue contraction (contra-revenue) attributable
to the revenue source, not as A&G or marketing expense. Option B
misclassifies the nature and timing, C ignores the redemption trigger,
and D misstates the owner/brand settlement mechanics.
Question 3
A resort's GOPPAR exceeds its RevPAR index growth, yet flow-through falls
below 40%. Which combination best explains this paradox?
A. Strong revenue gains offset by disproportionate fixed-cost escalation
and one-time asset charges
B. High occupancy driving variable cost leverage with stable fixed costs
C. ADR-driven revenue growth with proportional departmental expense
growth
D. Increased F&B profit margins masking rooms department
underperformance
Correct Answer: A - Strong revenue gains offset by
disproportionate fixed-cost escalation and one-time asset charges
Page 3
, RATIONALE
Flow-through measures incremental profit retained from incremental
revenue; low flow-through despite GOPPAR growth signals cost
escalation (fixed or one-time) absorbing gains. Option B would raise
flow-through, C implies proportional costs (not disproportionate), and
D addresses mix, not the flow-through paradox.
Question 4
Which pricing strategy best reflects revenue management's application of price
elasticity when demand is inelastic during a compression period?
A. Lower rates to stimulate incremental demand and fill remaining rooms
B. Hold or raise rates while restricting discounted inventory and
enforcing length-of-stay
C. Offer opaque OTA discounts to capture price-sensitive segments
D. Apply dynamic packaging to bundle F&B and reduce effective room
rate
Correct Answer: B - Hold or raise rates while restricting
discounted inventory and enforcing length-of-stay
RATIONALE
Inelastic demand during compression means rate increases yield
disproportionate revenue gains with minimal demand loss, so
holding/raising rates and closing discounts maximizes RevPAR.
Options A, C, and D all discount or dilute rate when demand does not
require stimulation.
Question 5
A hotel's TRevPAR rises while GOPPAR declines. Which structural change
most directly accounts for this?
A. Growth in high-margin spa revenue with stable rooms revenue
B. Growth in low-margin F&B and ancillary revenue with rising
undistributed expenses
