2. List the purpose of the acquisition or replacement of the physical assets, providing detailed information what informs the decision to acquire these new assets.

3. Write an overview of specifications for each asset which clearly outline what requirements each asset needs to fulfil in terms of capacity, performance, size, location requirements and maximum budget for each or for the overall budget parameter.

4. Obtain 3 prices or quotes from different suppliers or sources for each asset. Attach the correspondence and final quote received for each asset to this project.

5. Contact a financial institution and at least 2 different suppliers and obtain information on 3 different financing options available and costs.

6. Calculate the finance variants offered to you and determine the best options for each asset. Your options need to include potential factors for depreciation, consideration for technology changes and financial impacts on the organization and financial aspects for which you will seek specialist advice. (Your depreciation calculations must consider the current regulations published on the ATO website).

7. Based on your calculations in point 6, explain the official process that now needs to be followed to finalize the acquisition of each asset. This may include processes in your existing workplace or common industry standards and needs to provide:

details for detailed specifications,
legal contracts,
requirements and documentation applicable to different acquisition and financing methods,
preparation of documentation for disposal of assets that are being replaced including tax obligations.

Part B - Asset Register

Task:

1. Develop an asset register which lists the 3 assets determined in Part A. Your asset register needs to include the following details:

Asset Details
Asset description/model/type
Serial Numbers
Purchase date
Cost
Depreciation amount (from when you undertake this assessment to the end of the financial year). If you have no current value, then base this calculation on the approximate price you have determined using the ATO guidelines.
Closing Written Down Values (at the End of financial year where you undertake this assessment).

2. Develop a maintenance register and identify the maintenance requirements for each asset accordingly. For some assets that might be determined through lease clauses or service contract agreements. If so, include these including the details. For the remaining assets consult the user manuals or manufacturer's recommendations with consideration to frequency of use relevant to your organization. For example if a post-mix machine or coffee machine is connected to water filter then this needs to be reflected in the maintenance requirements.
