Respuesta :

Answer: The beverage cost perctage is 25%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the Food or Beverage Cost Percentage is (Beginning Inventory + Purchases – Ending Inventory) ÷ Food Sales.

Using our numbers in the formula, it is solved as follows:

Food Cost Percenage = ($25,000 + $20,000 - $22,000) / $92,000

Food Cost Percentage = ($23,000) / $92,000

Food Cost Percentage = 25%
