Based on the information given, calculate the overall product cost percentage of the value
meals and beverages. Would you advise Ming to “go for it”? Why or why not?
ANSWER- She should not go for it because her overall product cost percentage would be

food cost percentage goal? Is this number feasible?
ANSWER- Mind would have to sell 150 beverages in order to reach the food cost percentage that
she wanted. This number is not feasible.
