Answer to Question 1

Knowing cost percentages is only reading half of a story; more information is needed in order to make informed financial decisions. The trending rise or fall of pour cost percentage from previous terms is more important than simply knowing the actual percentage itself. A pour cost of 16 could be cause for elation or alarm depending on its relationship to previous performance. One of the challenges with pour cost is deciding what to compare it against in order to know if percentages are in line. Managers should compare their ACTUAL cost percentages to their DESIRED (or optimal) cost percentages. One other solution is to simply look at the average industry pour costs or at previous annual cost percentages.
