Hotels and Watches are the two industries that has the highest profit margine on sales. It is around 35%. Hotels are pure competition in structure. They maximise their profits when the marginal revenue=marginal costs. So lesser you have overheads for the hotels the faster you will reach your profit maxima. Variable costs you cannot control. So total cost=variable cost + fixed cost and the profit is maximised when the average variable cost is minimum and average fixed cost is above minimum. So you price at average fixed cost+average variable cost in the above manner.
