Explanation / Answer

Problem 10:
In order to compute the sales mix, one needs to compute the total sales, and then compute the percentage sales for each product.
Total sales = 196 + 72 + 142 + 24 + 112 + 224 + 162 = 932

Then, for each item, we compute its percentage sales with respect to total.

Item A: 196/932 * 100 = 21.03%
Item B: 72/932 * 100 = 7.73%
Item C: 142/932 * 100 = 15.24%
Item D: 24/932 * 100 = 2.58%
Item E: 112/932 * 100 = 12.02%
Item F: 224/932 * 100 = 24.03%
Item G: 162/932 * 100 = 17.38%

Problem 11:
To compute average check, you simply need to divide sales by the number of customers.
a. $1,000/125 = $8
b. $1,300/158 = $8.23
c. $8720.52/976 = $8.93

Problem 12:
a) To compute the average number of covers per server, one needs to compute the total number of covers, divided by the number of servers-hours.
Total cover = 71 + 66 + 58 = 195
Total server-hours = 9
Number of covers per server per hour = 195/9 = 21.33
b) Average sales per server = total sales / number of servers
= ($237.40 + $263.95 + $188.25)/3
= $229.87

Problem 13:
a. This is total gross sales / total number of covers
= ($237.40 + $263.95 + $188.25)/(71 + 66 + 58)
= $3.54

b. The word turnover is ambiguous. One meaning of turnover is the number of customers per seat. This would be
Number of customers (covers) / number of seats
= (71 + 66 + 58)/65
= 3 customers per seat.

Problem 14:
a) Average check = Total sales/total covers
= $352783.40/85629
= $4.12
b) Sales per seat = Total sales / number of seats
= $352783.40/65 = $5427.44 per seat.
