08/11/22, 2 : 53 PM Practical Assessment Page 7 of 15 http://my.acumen.edu.au/#/practicalassessment/latestdetails/282/E20979 Task 4 – Prepare cost beneSt analysis for food waste management Scenario You have signed up to donate 10kg of unused food per week to a food rescue group who provides food to those who are struggling to access nourishing meals. This will reduce your food waste by 20kg per month. You have also decided to participate in a food waste collection program. You have received a price list from Biopak (Appendix F). Please download - Appendix F Biopak service rate card Appendix C Sustainability audit outcomes BSBSUS401 Appendix F Biopak service rate card.pdf BSBSUS401 Appendix C Sustainability audit outcomes.docx * Task 4 – Prepare cost beneSt analysis for food waste management The restaurant manager has asked you to prepare a cost beneUt analysis for participating in a food waste collection program. Based on the scenario above, the sustainability audit results in Appendix C and the Biopak information in Appendix F, conduct the following analysis and record your observations in the space provided: 1. Calculate the weight of food waste generated per month after donations to food rescue. Take the capacity of the general waste bin as your baseline. Waste capacity= 30 kg * 2 = a0kg 50% is generally the amount of food waste, so per week it is a0-30 = 30kg Waste donation= 10kg Weekly general waste donation= 30kg - 10kg = 20 kg So for one month it will be 20 kg * 4 week.= h0 kg * 2. Calculate the monthly cost of sending food waste to landUll as part of the general waste. Consider bin hire and collection costs. $12.50/4 = $3.125 Collection of each bin per week $9 * 4 = $3a Total rent $144 + 12.50 =$15a.50 Minus 50% = 7h.25 (2 bins every week)
08/11/22, 2 : 53 PM Practical Assessment Page 8 of 15 http://my.acumen.edu.au/#/practicalassessment/latestdetails/282/E20979 * 3. Based on the monthly bin rental, cost per collection, and the estimated weight of food waste, calculate the monthly cost of sending food waste to Biopak. Assume that: you will be hiring one food waste bin from Biopak food waste will be collected once a week. $19.50 + GST ($1.95)= $21.45 per week Collection of 4 weeks $21.45 * 4 = $h5.h Monthly rent $h5.h + $h.a7 = $94.47 * 4. Based on your analysis, make a recommendation for the Unancial feasibility of participating in the food waste collection program. Cost of general waste $7h.25 + $94.47 = $172.72 Bio Pack= $172.72 - $15a.50 =$1a.22 * 5. Brieby describe two alternate beneUts of hiring a bin from Biopak that might offset the costs associated. Following are the two alternative beneUts - BeneUt regarding the image of the company - Environmental beneUts Submission guidelines At the end of this task, submit your responses in this assessment. You may prepare your responses as a separate typed document attached to this assessment.
