utilities ( Electricity $ 10000 per year, Internet $ 600 per year)

Task to be completed –Activity 2

Past records including previous sales figures and business requirements are used to
estimate fixed costs for the next period. The past records including previous sales figures
and business requirements will be made available by your trainer/assessor from the
workplace.

You are required to estimate fixed costs for the next period, three (3) months, based upon
the past records including previous sales figures and business requirements.

Previous sales figures must include:

The wholesale cost of product or service

The retail price of product or service

Write your answer in the section provided below:

Total costs per year: $106.600

Total cost per month: $106600 : 12 = $ 8883,33

Total costs for the next 3 months: $ 8883,33 x 3 = $ 26650

The wholesale cost of product or service:

Cost of service:

- 1 Engine oil filter wesfil z123 $ 7

- 5 lt engine oil Penrite 10w30 $25
- Overall check of vehicle / top up fluids labour 0,5 hour

Retail price of product or service:

- 1 Engine oil filter wesfil z123 $20

- lt 5 engine oil Penrite 10w30 $80
- Overall check of the car and top up fluids $80

Retail price for a service $200

Task to be completed –Activity 3
Using the information your trainer/assessor has provided in activity 2, calculate the fixed
administrative and business operation overhead costs.

Write your answer in the section provided below:

Accountant: $ 3600 per year

Mechanic Desk (software for bookings, printing invoices and job

cards) $ 600 per year

Total costs $106600 + $ 3600 + $ 600 = $110800

Task to be completed –Activity 4

Using the information your trainer/assessor has provided in activity 2, determine the
proportion of fixed costs to be included in retail rates.

Write your answer in the section provided below:

Fixed cost for service:

7 + 25 + 15 (employee wage) = $47 (total fixed cost)

Fixed costs are 23% of retail rates.

Task to be completed –Activity 5
Using the information your trainer/assessor has provided in activity 2, determine the
labour rates. Classify the labour rates into categories according to employee
classification.

An additional four services have been booked in the workshop, and each requires 5 hours
of work. Your staff members don’t usually work on Saturdays but to fit this in the work will
need to be done outside your normal Mon - Fri hours.

As you are extremely busy, you have three (3) options to select from;

Use a subcontractor
Use a permanent staff member and pay overtime
Use a casual staff member and pay Saturday rates

Using the labour rates, you have determined, work out how much a service is going to cost
for each category.
To complete the four extra services booked on Saturday, choose which labour option you
feel is the most cost-effective and explain why in 50 - 100 words.
Write your answer in the section provided below:

Using a subcontractor i would charge 25% more for each service on top of the cost of each
car fixed by the subcontractor. Let’s say the subcontractor works for $100 an hour the labour
will cost $500 and the cost for the customer will be $ 625 excluded spare parts provided by
the customer.

Using a permanent staff n4 permanent mechanics will be employed on saturday to work ok

each car and they have to be paid an extra 50% an hour. So the workshop will charge 50%
more an hour to be additioned in the final cost.

The labour cost for each car will be $750 each car spare parts excluded (provided by
customers).

Using casual staff members the workshop will charge 70% more on the normal cost of an
hour labour.

So that the final labour cost for the customer will be $850 parts excluded provided by
customers.

I would give the job a subcontractor and charge the 25% on top of the price so that i would
earn $500 GST excluded without any expense to pay a mechanic or electricity. Since the
subcontractor’s workshop is 2 kilometres away from my workshop and it will only take 0,5
hours to one person to pick up all four cars and deliver to the customer.
Task to be completed –Activity 6
Using the information your trainer/assessor has provided in activity 2, determine three (3)
variable costs using accounting records or supplier information.

Write your answer in the section provided below:

Oil filter z154: supplied $7

Retail price $20

difference $13

Engine oil Penrite 10w30 lt 5: supplied $25

Retail price $80
Difference $55

Radiator Jeep Grand Cherokee: Supplied $280

Retail price $590

Difference: $310
Task to be completed –Activity 7
Using the information your trainer/assessor has provided in activity 2, choose any three
(3) required automotive materials. Estimate and record what the cost will be for 150 of
each.

Write your answer in the section provided below:

Oil filter Wesfil z145 = cost of each filter $5 (GST included)

Cost of 150 oil filters= 5x150= $750 (GST included)

MOpar genuine Head gasket = cost of each product $30 (GST included)

Cost of 150 head gaskets = 30 x 150 = $4500 (GST uncluded)

Brake light bulb 21w5 philips $2 each (GST included)

Cost of 150 bulbs = 2 x 150 = $300 (GST included)

Task to be completed –Activity 8
