Let $P_0$ be the ambient pressure, $V_1$ and $V_0$ be the initial and final volumes of the system respectively.
If in a process, the system comes into equilibrium with the surroundings, the work done in pushing back the ambient atmosphere is $P_0(V_0-V_1)$.
$Availability = W_{useful} = W_{max} - P_0(V_0-V_1)$
Consider …
