#2. AS PURCHASED WEIGHT IS 19LBS. AND EDIBLE
PORTION WEIGHT IS 14LBS, WHAT IS THE EDIBLE YIELD
%?
Formula: EP Weight/AP Weight
14 lbs/19 lbs = .7368

#5. A CASE OF LEMONS COSTS $48.00/35 LBS FOR
(140CT.) HOW MUCH IS THE COST PER LEMON?
Step 1: Determine how many lemons are in 1 lb.
140/35 lbs = 4/lb.

$48/35 lbs = $1.37lb for 4 ea
Step 3: Calculate the cost for each lemon.
$1.37/4 = $.342
#6. A CASE OF EGGS COSTS $72.00/30 DOZ. HOW
MUCH WOULD THE COST OF 3 EGGS BE?
Unit Cost: Case Cost/Case Quatity = Unit Cost
$72.00/30 doz = $2.40/dz
$2.40/12 = .20 ea
$.20 ea x 3 = $.60
#7. A HALF GALLON OF CREAM COSTS $8.95. HOW
MUCH WOULD 4 OZ COST?
$8.95/64oz (1/2 gal)=$.1398 per oz.

#8. DETERMINE THE YIELD % IN YOUR FACILITY
IF YOUR AP WEIGHT WAS A GALLON OF HEAVY
CREAM AND THE EP WEIGHT WAS 54 OZ.
54 fl. Oz/ 128 fl. Oz =.421
= 42.1%
#9. DETERMINE THE YIELD % IN YOUR FACILITY IF YOUR
AP WEIGHT WAS 40 LBS OF PORK SHOULDER BONE-IN
AND YOUR EDIBLE PORTION WAS 25 LBS.
Formula: Edible Portion Weight/AP Portion Weight = Yield %
25 lbs/40 lbs = .625
= 62.5 %
#10 USING THE LEVINGTON METHOD TO PURCHASING,
IF YOU HAD 8 OZ PORTION SIZE OF PORK LOIN AT AN
EDIBLE YIELD OF 85% AND NEEDED TO SERVE 250
GUESTS FOR DINNER SERVICE, HOW MUCH DO I NEED
TO ORDER?
Step 1: 16 oz/8 oz = 2 AP Portions per lb.
Step 2: 2 x 85% = 1.7 EP portions per lb.
Step 3: 250 covers/1.7 EP portions per lb.=
=147 oz. Pork

Order Amount: 500 / 1.06 = 472 #
Answer:
Beans: 16/12 = 4 AP #
4x .90= 3.60 EP #
Order Amount: 500 / 3.60 EP = 139 #
Answer:
Potatoes: 16/4= 4 AP #
4x .75= 3 EP #
Order Amount: 500 / 3 EP#= 167 #

Minimum Weight
per case
36 lbs
Answer:
16/4 oz = 4 AP lb
4 x .75 = 3.00 EP lb
Raw lbs needed = 1575/3 = 525 lbs
# of cases needed = 525 lbs./36 lbs
per case = 14.48 or 15 cases.
