From the above variance report, electricity and gas in Brisbane was much higher than budgeted
at more than double the budgeted cost (233%). The cost of office supplies doubled at 200%
while stationery increased by 78$. Water here only rose to 10% more than the budgeted
amount. There was an appreciable increase of revenue of 17% at $410,000 up from the
budgeted $350,000
It appears that the cost of electricity and gas, stationery and office supplies is very high when
compared to the budetted costs. Water cost also appears to be higher, particularly in Sydney.
There is therefore need to look for alternative cheaper sources of energy for both campuses to
cut down on electricity and gas costs. Renewable energy should be considered e.g. solar lighting
for classrooms and solar water heating systems for hot water to cut down on electricity and gas
costs.
Stationery costs could be high due to lack of proper use of the same. There is therefore need to
enforce propersue for example, ensuring that printed work is printed on both papers of the
page to save on ink, use of draft quality when printing, etc. water also needs to be used
properly although the college should consider drilling boreholes to reduce water costs.
