Over the last five years, demand for hotel rooms in Cenopolis has increased significantly, as has the average price Cenopolis hotels charge for rooms. These trends are projected to continue for the next several years. In response to this economic forecast, Centennial Commercial, a real estate developer, is considering a plan to convert several unoccupied office buildings it owns in Cenopolis into hotels in order to maximize its revenues from these properties.
Which of the following would it be most useful for Centennial Commercial to know in evaluating the plan it is considering?
Whether the population of Cenopolis is expected to grow in the next several years
Whether demand for office space in Cenopolis is projected to increase in the near future
Whether the increased demand for hotel rooms, if met, is likely to lead to an increase in the demand for other travel-related services
Whether demand for hotel rooms has also increased in other cities where Centennial owns office buildings
Whether, on average, hotels that have been created by converting office buildings have fewer guest rooms than do hotels that were built as hotels
在BE之间纠结
题目说的是maximize its revenues from these properties，又是一个最大化的问题，注意最大化与提高强调的重点有区别
E 其实办公楼转化为酒店之后提供的房间是不是比酒店少，对它的收入是否最大化不会产生影响。除非假设提供的房间少那么人们不会选择来这里住，这样才会影响收入。
结论结论 结论看清楚再做题 要不然又浪费时间又做错。 结论中：DO A in other to B. A和B都要看是否可行
过去5年之间，酒店房间需求以及酒店房间的价格增加。且未来估计这个趋势会继续
Goal：为了应对economic forecast。 Plan：将无人使用的办公楼转换成酒店
1、也就是office本来是没人用的，才转化成hotel。但是关键在于如果office将来有人用了，就另当别论。
2、提供房间数不等于住满，对人恶虐影响没有那么直接
行吧，office space需求变化比客房数量多少对revenue的影响更直接！
b本来没有的办公楼需求增加，更直接的影响了利润，因为原来是默认办公楼无需求而闲置的，这个前提消失后利润最大化的目标也会受影响。
而e：不管房间造了多少，已经是最大化利润的方案了，否则办公楼闲着也是闲着
过去5年之间，酒店房间需求以及酒店房间的价格增加。且未来估计这个趋势会继续
Goal：为了应对economic forecast。 Plan：将无人使用的办公楼转换成酒店
choice b, 是否对于办公楼的需求在未来会增长
论点在于最大化 Contennial Commercial 的revenue，即便其coverting hotels只有更少的guest rooms，但对于contennial commercial而言，这个信息是不重要的，因为即便guest rooms少也是能最大化revenues的；而若demand for office space也上升的化，那么很可能来自于office的revenue要远大于来自于hotels的revenue。
E是一个可能的结果吧，其实和现在、原文没啥关系吧
e：是否改造后的宾馆的房间更少，无关
好吧，我觉得B也不是很合理，就算需求上升也并不代表可以max profit. 但是GMAT是爸爸。我选了E，问题可能在“hotels that have been created ”，意思是已经转换成酒店的OFFICE。可能和题目有些偏差了
我也选的e，感觉价格涨了一倍就是就是需要更多房间，但是肯定不会越多越好，多了会饱和。那么如果增加的酒店总量没有超过原有的酒店房间总数就说明总数没有超过一倍，还是可以的。我觉得可能是我想多了。。好难控制想象力。。
