Complete the following cost analysis on the specialty cake you've made: FOOD COST: List all the ingredients and the ingredient amounts for each formula. Calculate the cost for each ingredient (and a total cost). Name of formula: _ Ingredient Amount Package Size & Cost Cost (in formula) e.g. sugar 500 g $10.00 / 10 kg $.50 Total Ingredient Cost: $ Material Costs: List all materials and their cost. Material Amount/Number Used Cost of Material Total Cost Used e.g. tin foil 1 meter $10.00 / 50 M $.20
Total Cost of Materials Used: $ Now, calculate the total cost of your specialty cake by adding up the following: 1. Total Food Cost: $ 2. Total Materials Cost: $ TOTAL COST: $ Lastly, calculate the cost per serving of your specialty cake by dividing total cost by # of servings: divided by = total cost # of servings Cost per serving (Note, this calculation does not include labor costs)
