Calculate Costs And Quantities Relevant To Simple Activities In Catering Operations

[Tsoseletso]

Is more like an assignment but that is questions one I need help

[spathiphyllum]

For example if you need to make 10 sandwiches, you need to calculate how much it will cost you for 20 slices of bread, 10 slices of ham, 10 slices of cheese and a pack of butter to butter the bread.

[fiction-factory]

Also facror in staff costs and maybe the cost of equipment such a sfridges for storage.
Are you doin a sandwich course?

[woofgang]

don't forget stuff like insurance and infrastructure running costs

[Peter Pedant]

you need to re read the relevant chapter of your course book

you will be covering a variety of costing methods ( all or which fail me - ABC activity based costing is the really crappy one)

the whole point is not find out what a sarny costs but to exercise YOU in costing exercises

so say a loaf of bread - £1 ( but it is rand for you innit?)
and the butter - oh god 50 p
and cheese - £3
and this makes so many (40) sandwiches
these are variable costs and so they go up as your order increases ( oh and labour costs)

buut you will have fixed costs - insurance, rent of rooms, water rates and so on - elec
these are fixed - but go down for each sandwich if you make 100 rather than 40

then you sort of tot then up and work out each cost for one sarny
-
BUT you need to do your chapter because
you also gonna do marginal costing - where the fixed costs are tacked on at the very end
because it allows you to double treble easily ( you just x2 or x3) so is a very easy method to increase ....

well that is three innit
ABC
and usual costing
and marginal costing
honestly you need to read the course book .....

and what ever you do dont do AAT - it is truly a load of old .....
