Problem 1
Several yield tests for roasting rounds of beef have been carefully undertaken. A summary
of results (average per round) follows:
As purchased (AP) Weight
Servable Weight
Cost (AP)
=
22 lb 7 oz
17 lb 10 oz
$6.95 per lb
a. What is the cost per servable pound?
b. Use the above information to determine the number of pounds of rounds to purchase
for a weekend buffet being planned for 275 guests (six [EP-on the plate] ounces will
be served to each guest).
round #1
round #2
round #3
c. Use the above information to calculate a cost factor and then use the cost factor to
determine the revised cost per servable pound when the AP price of the round rises to
$7.45 per pound.
d. Using the revised cost per servable pound, calculate the per portion cost for the six-
ounce portion that will be provided on the buffet.
Problem 2
A yield test is done on three beef rounds. The as-purchased (AP) and edible portion (EP)
data is shown below:
AP (Original) Weight EP (Servable) Weight
19 lb 12 oz
16 lb 2 oz
21 lb 13 oz
17 lb 15 oz
20 lb 9 oz
16 lb 14 oz](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6a2f95ed-7171-45b2-9304-9328ccddc530%2Fef07105c-1aa3-4537-8c53-d38fd6e57e68%2Feqxin8v_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)


- According to the problem, the yield ratio is given by,
For round 1
Servable weight = 16 lb. and 2 oz. or 16 pounds and 2 ounces
Original weight = 19 lb. and 12 oz. or 19 pounds and 12 ounces
Hence, yield ratio for round 1,
(As, 1 lb. or pound = 16 oz. or ounces)
Therefore, yield percentage,
Similarly, for round 2,
Servable weight = 17 lb. and 15 oz. or 17 pounds and 15 ounces
Original weight = 21 lb. and 13 oz. or 21 pounds and 13 ounces
Thus, yield ratio for round-2,
Hence, yield percentage for round 2,
Finally for round 3,
Servable weight = 16 lb. and 14 oz. or 16 pounds and 14 ounces
Original weight = 20 lb. and 9 oz. or 20 pounds and 9 ounces
The yield ratio for round-3 will be,
Thus, yield percentage for round-3,
- The percentage numbers in the above calculations represent the percentage amount of edible portion from the original purchased amount of each round.
For, round-1, the edible amount from the original is, 81.64 %
For, round-2, the edible amount from the purchased (AP) amount is, 82.23 %
For round-3, the edible portion from the purchased amount is, 82.067 %
