Determine Markup Factor = 100/FC % 2. Determine Selling Price = markup factor x raw FC If the food cost % is 30, and the raw food cost of the item is $.18, what is the selling price using the factor method? - Answer-ans= $.59 100/30= 3.3 (markup factor) x .18= .59 if including hidden costs: 3.3 x (.18 + .018) = $.65 Selling Price with Hidden Costs - Answer-markup factor x (raw FC + 10% of raw FC) Markup - Answer-Cost - Selling Price How to determine selling price with prime cost method - Answer-1. determine prime cost = raw FC + Direct LC 2. determine price factor = 100 / (FC% + LC%) 3. determine Selling Price = prime cost x price factor Determine the selling price using the prime cost method. Raw food: 1.80 labor: 5 min at $12/hr raw food cost %: .333 Labor cost %: .467 - Answer-ans= $3.50 raw food cost 1.80 + labor cost 1.00 = prime cost 2.80 Food cost % + labor cost %= 80% 100/80= 1.25 markup price factor selling price = 2.80 x 1.25 = $3.50 Determining BEP in units: - Answer-fixed costs / (Sales - Variable costs) determining BEP in sales volume - Answer-fixed costs / (1-(Variable Costs/Sales)) Determining Cost of Profit Pricing - Answer-1. Add up all costs as % 2. Find desired FC% = subtract total from 100% 3. determine Selling Price = Actual FC ($) / desired FC% Fixed cost 25% labor cost 35% Food cost $.78 Profit Cost 10% __________ Total cost 70% - Answer-To find the targeted food cost %: 100% -70% = 30% To find the selling price: .78 food cost/ .30 desired food cost % = selling price $2.60 Determining popularity Index (menu mix) - Answer-# servings of certain item / total # servings of all items that day = % M T W TH F broccoli green beans carrots
