DOUBLE RATE
Formula 3:
Double Room Revenues at Rack Rate
Number of Rooms Sold as Doubles

IDENTICAL YIELDS
Formula 8:
Identical Yield Occupancy Percentage =
Current Occupancy Percentage
EQUIVALENT OCCUPANCY
Formula 9:
Equivalent Occupancy = Current Occupancy Percentage

Rack Rate (1- Discount Percentage) Marginal cost
Equivalent Occupancy =
Current Occupancy Percentage Contribution Margin
