Task 3
Your Tasks:
Read the following 3 scenarios and answer the ques琀椀ons a琀琀ached for each scenario.
Scenario 1:
The 昀椀nance team has created budget forecasts for Greek Hotel based on carefully researched factors for the last
3 years and these were always very accurate. The recent budget which included all departments of the hotel was
implemented 3 months ago and the forecasted 昀椀gures for Food Cost and COGS/Beverages in both the Restaurant
and the Bar Opera琀椀ons have blown out by nearly 4.5 percent.
What could be the reasons for this? List 5 examples of areas you would inves琀椀gate and explain why.
The recent budget of the company shows the cost of goods sold for various departments and
there has been noticed a blown out which is approximately 4.5%. the same has been experience
due to high fluctuations in the inflation rate and the corresponding change in cost associated
with various inputs and raw material required for producing the products of the Restaurant and
bar operations. Another reason for such blown out was inaccuracy in making assumptions about
the various cost items increase in percent. The previous year figures year figures of budgets for
the recent three years have been taken into consideration for determining the fluctuations in
rates which seems to be inconsistent with the consistent policy of the company operating in this
sector of industry.

Scenario 2:
Greek Hotel has successfully operated for 7 years. During this period, overall turnover has doubled, and during
the past 3 budget periods annual budgets have been increased by 15% each year which was exceeded each 琀椀me.
During the last 6 months however, management has no琀椀ced that the opposite trend seems to be occurring now.
List 5 external factors which could contribute to this and explain which methods you would use to determine
this.
Consumer

Disposable
income
Strength of
dollar
Economic policies and government
legislations Competition
This method which will be suitable here will be capital budgeting which will involve calculation
of future results for the budgets prepared by the company. In the determination of these factors
various cost constituents will be taken care of and the external factors will be properly
recognized in order to determine the correct figures of the ratios.
Scenario 3:
You have successfully nego琀椀ated the dra昀琀 budget with each department head of the Hotel which has now been
approved by the director and implemented 6 weeks ago.
You have 昀椀nalised the 昀椀nancial data of the Hotel for the next management mee琀椀ng and no琀椀ced the following:
a.
Department Budget Actual Variance
Kitchen/Food Cost 28% 32% (-)$ 13467
b. The recently appointed F&B Manager has purchased 240 bo琀琀les of Hill of Blessings @ $90 each which
represents a saving of $30 per bo琀琀le. However this exceeds the par stock level by 220 bo琀琀les and has
created a cash昀氀ow problem, given the nega琀椀ve performance of the kitchen during this period as well.
