How to calculate the cost per batch of parfait?

The cost per batch of parfait can be calculated by summing up the costs of all ingredients and dividing that total by the number of servings (batch size). The formula for calculating the total cost and cost per serving is as follows:

Total Cost (TC) is calculated as:

§§ TC = Milk Cost + Sugar Cost + Fruit Cost + Additives Cost + Packaging Cost + Labor Cost + Additional Costs §§

where:

§ TC § — total cost of the batch
Each cost component represents the individual cost of ingredients and other expenses.

Cost per Serving (CPS) is calculated as:

§§ CPS = \frac{TC}{Batch Size} §§

where:

§ CPS § — cost per serving
§ TC § — total cost of the batch
§ Batch Size § — number of servings in the batch

Example:

Let’s say you have the following costs for your parfait ingredients:

Milk Cost: $5
Sugar Cost: $2
Fruit Cost: $3
Additives Cost: $1
Packaging Cost: $1
Labor Cost: $2
Additional Costs: $1
Batch Size: 10 servings

Total Cost Calculation:

§§ TC = 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 15 \text{ dollars} §§

Cost per Serving Calculation:

§§ CPS = \frac{15}{10} = 1.5 \text{ dollars per serving} §§
