True

Multiple Choice: Which chart helps with scheduling tasks over time? A) Pie Chart B) Gantt Chart C) Bar Graph D) Flowchart

B) Gantt Chart

Trick Question: Is the Contribution Margin the same as the profit?

No, because Contribution Margin does not account for fixed costs.

Calculation Problem: If a menu item costs $3 to make and is sold for $10, what is the Food Cost Percentage?

$\text{Food Cost \%} = \frac{3}{10} \times 100 = 30\%$.

Calculation Problem: How to find the Break-even Point if Fixed Costs are $5000 and Contribution Margin per item is $25?

$\text{Break-even Point} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs}}{\text{Contribution Margin}} = \frac{5000}{25} = 200 \text{ items}$.
