Answer to Question 1

Establishments use a variety of methods to calculate markup and determine selling prices. The factor method, also known as the food cost percentage method, is a popular formula used to determine menu prices based simply on the standard food cost percentage. The contribution margin (CM) method calculates what is left over after the product cost of a menu item is subtracted from the menu selling price. That amount is what each item contributes to paying for labor and other expenses and providing a profit. The ratio pricing method considers the relationship between all expenses and profit, whereas the prime cost method calculates labor costs involved in food preparation, as well as food cost.
