Hello, all help needed. I don't understand yield. Is there a mathematical formula to work out the yield of a product for example rooms in a hotel. I have 3 at £50.00, 3 at £75.00 and 3 at £100.00. Does yield tell me what I get a year, or can it be broken down by month?
All answers greatly received. Many Thanks guys.

Yield is calculated as the return you get divided by the amount you invested. For example, you invest $100 for one year and get back $105 at the end of the year - your yield is 5/100 = 5%. If the investment was made for a period other than 1 year, and you want the resukts in the equaivalent annual yield, it's a little more complicated.:



where:
Final = final value of the investment
Initial = amount initially invested
n = number of years of investment

Not sure what you are getting at with respect to hotel rooms. Please clarify.

Thank you, the hotel rooms bit was an example, 9 rooms a day with 365 days a year, how would your below answer look then??
Thanks again,
Ann

Amadpants - I have no idea what "yield" has to do with hotel rooms, sorry. Perhaps you mean "fill," as in what pecentage of rooms get rented? For example, if you have a total of 9*365 = 3285 room-nights to sell per year, and if you were to book, say, 2900 room-nights in a year that would be a fill of 2900/3285 = 88.3%. Is that what you're asking?

Hello again ebaines, thank you for the last e mail. That's just what I needed. Thank you so much for all your help.

I would like to know how to measure hotel's room nights sold. For example, a hotel with 500 room, 400 of which with double bed.
How measure the monthly average room nights sold.
Thanks

For hotel occupancy calculations you don't care how many beds each room has or how many people stayed in the room - all you count is whether the room is occupied or not. So if one person stays in a room with a double bed it counts the same as two people staying in that room. To calculate the average occupancy for the month you add up the number of rooms sold each night for the month, then divide by the number of nights in the month.
