Costing for Culinary

Question

the chicken used in class weighed 1.5 kg (1500); the trimmings and scrap weighed 590 g. therefore the AP weight =1500 g and the EP weight =910g. What is the usable yeild percentage for the chicken

Answer 1

Hi Keisha, 

 

(EP Weight/Total Weight) x 100 = Usable Percentage Yield

 

(910/1500) x 100 = 60.67 or about 61% 

 

Hope that helps,
