Hotel manager Basil Fountain and his resourceful assistant, Casey,  run a 26-room hotel in a quaint little town called Poynette.  A combination of Mr. Fountain’s friendly attitude and the absence of a respectable inn in the nearby vicinity imply that Mr. Fountain enjoys sufficient demand to fill the hotel at his low fare of $159 per night.  Casey notes that some customers will walk into the hotel requesting a room for the night and that they are willing to pay a higher fare of $325 per night.  Casey suggests that some rooms should be held back from the low-fare customers so that they can serve the high-fare last minute customers.   Basil scoffs at the idea. He says, “Empty rooms! A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. This brilliant idea of yours, Casey, might work in Barcelona but definitely not at Poynette. Let me run the hotel my way. We will sell to everyone who reserves in advance and ignore the walk-in demand.” If Basil has his way, what will be the hotel’s expected daily revenue?
