Question

In the Coquitlam Grill, the actual food cost in March 2023 was $35,000, and the food sales were $109,375. Management couldn’t control the costs efficiently because of the sharply increased prices on many food items and, as a result, the actual food cost percentage was 2.0% higher than the standard food cost percentage. What were the potential food cost savings in this restaurant in April 2023 in dollars? Show the full calculations.

Definition Definition System of assigning an estimated cost to the product (instead of the actual cost) so that the product cost can be determined well in advance and the pricing of the product can be done on time. Since the actual cost cannot be predicted at the initial stage of the production process, the estimated cost is recorded in the books. Any deviation of the estimated cost of the actual cost is adjusted in the books at the end of the period.
