You must not take the work of others and present it as your own. Plagiarism may result in the assignment/assessment being deemed to be “not yet competent” by the Trainer / Assessor.

Plagiarism can take several forms:

  • Quoting from a book or an article without acknowledging the source.

Referencing Materials

If you are unfamiliar with how to reference, we recommend that you review http://www.citethisforme.com/harvard-referencing. Two types of citations are included:

  • In-text citations are used when directly quoting or paraphrasing a source. They are located in the body of the work and contain a fragment of the full citation. Depending on the source type, some Harvard Reference in-text citations may look something like this:
    • “After that I lived like a young rajah in all the capitals of Europe…” (Fitzgerald, 2004).
  • Reference lists are located at the end of the work and display full citations for sources used in the assignment. Here is an example of a full citation for a book found in a Harvard Reference list:

    • Websites: Website name, (Year published). Page title. [Online] Available at: URL [Accessed Day Mo. Year].

Understanding your results

The great thing with competency-based training is that you either deemed ‘competent’ (you can demonstrate the required skills and knowledge) or ‘not yet competent’ (at this time you haven’t been able to demonstrate required skills or knowledge). The key word is “YET”.

Your Trainer / Assessor will provide you with feedback on your assessments so that you know what you have done well in your assessment and what you need to improve upon or fix. An “NYC” result does not mean that you have failed and that is it – you have the opportunity to try again.  It could be that one question in your assessment was deemed not yet satisfactory and this is the only question that will require review.

Assessment outcomes

Each assessment task will be given an outcome of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS). You must complete all tasks satisfactorily to achieve an overall outcome of Competent (C) for a unit. If one or more of tasks are assessed as not yet satisfactory, you will be given an overall outcome for the unit of Not Yet Competent (NYC).

 

You will be allowed up to two (2) reassessments attempts to complete each task and achieve a satisfactory outcome. You will be given a timeframe for resubmission and advised what you must include in the resubmission.

 

There is an Assessment Task # – Outcome Record incorporated within an Assessment Cover Sheet at the beginning of each discreet assessment activity. Assessors will complete the Outcome Record section for each assessment activity. The summary of the outcomes will be transferred to the Overall Unit – Record of Assessment Outcomes located on the reverse of the first page Cover sheet of this Student Assessment Booklet..

Assessors Note -the Overall Unit – Record of Assessment Outcomes will become the first page of the submitted work when completed (by reversing the first page Cover sheet of this Student Assessment Booklet.)

You are the General Manager with Marino Enterprises and oversee the operations for their various venues. John Marino, one of the owners of Marino Enterprises, has asked you to monitor and review revenue budget outcomes for one of the hotel businesses, Marino Hotel, and present an evaluation of the budget and financial plans.

The owners are keen to identify issues that need to be addressed as identified from the evaluation of the data, to ensure that they optimise the viability of the business while retaining market share, market position and their high product and service standards.

You have been presented with the following data, which is also available in the soft copy Handout – Marino Hotel Budget.

Marino Hotel
Selected budget data
Item Projected/Budgeted figure Actual figure
Room Sales 20,000,000 12,000,000
Food sales 5,000,000 9,000,000
Liquor sales 3,000,000 5,000,000
Wages 2,100,000 2,500,000
Rent 1,000,000 1,200,000
Overheads 500,000 450,000
COGS 900,000 1,750,000
COGS % 30% 35%

Activity 1

  1. Access the soft copy of the budget and financial plans, which are provided as the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet –
  • Handout – Marino Hotel Budget Report
  1. Undertake an initial evaluation of the budget outcomes so that you will be able to brief the business owners and your Operations Manager for the Marino Hotel in a budget review meeting for the following reporting cycle.

As the bases of your evaluation, calculate, for each budget line item (i.e. Room sales, Food sales, Liquor sales, Wages, Rent and Overheads):

  1. the dollar deviations, and
  2. the percentage deviations

Note that you are required to develop the appropriate Excel formulae for the spreadsheet to perform the calculations, which must also indicate whether each deviation is favourable or unfavourable.

 

  1. Print and attach the report from the spreadsheet to your submission.

***insert  your Marino Hotel Budget report showing the deviations here***

 

Task 2 Activity 1 continued

  1. To better understand the importance/significance of the budget outcomes, list the unfavourable deviations for Property 1 in order of % significance, starting with the most significant unfavourable result.
 

In the above table, the deviations have been identified for each of the different sales and it has been determined that food sales are different from the room sales as well as from the liquor sales.

There are some positive deviations as well as negative deviation.  In the room sales of the Marino Hotel, there are negative deviations, in which the actual sales are less the budget sales. Food sales are positive and it simply means that the actual sales are more than the budget sales. The deviation is positive and it leads to increase in all over the sales (Pei, et al., 2019).

Liquor sales have the positive deviation, in which the actual sales are more than the budget sales. And it has 66.7% as the deviation in the liquor sales.

Rent has the negative deviations because the actual rent is more than the $2,00,000. Budget rent was determined as $10,00,000 and the actual rent is $12,00,000. Rent is 20% negative.
