YEILD TEST
Yield Test Reference Sheet
Commodity $ / kg Trimmings Net Yield/ kg Net cost/kg

Beans 2.95 16% 0.840 3.51

Carrots 1.40 16% 0.840 1.67
Cauliflower 5.75 22% 0.780 7.37
Kohlrabi 4.28 32% 0.680 6.29

Onions 2.45 14% 0.860 2.85

Loin of Pork 14.80 14% 0.860 17.21
Leg of Lamb 8.90 27% 0.730 12.19
To calculate a menu effectively the net yield must be considered to order the correct quantities.
To do so correctly, the trimmings are weighed.
If you buy one kilogram of carrots for $1.40 per Kg and have peelings and offucts weighing 0.160 Kg, then you will obtain 840 g of peeled carrots.
Therefore these 840 g of carrots cost you now $1.40.
Therefore to work out the price for 1 kg of peeled Carrots , the trimming percentage has to be added
to the original price for 1 kg of unpeeled carrots.
Example: $ per kg Trimmings Net Yield Net cost/kg
Carrots 1.40 16% 840 g 1.62
1000 g Carrots = $ 1.40

16% of 1000 g = 1000 x 16 : 100 = 160 g
1000 g (Carrots) - 160 g (Trimmings) = 840 g
Therefore these 840 g of peeled carrots will now still cost $ 1.40
To obtain now the price for 1 kg of peeled carrots we need to establish the following formula
0.840 kg = $ 1.40
1.000 kg = $ X
X = (1.000 x 1.40) / 0.840
X = 1.40 / 0.840
X = 1.666
X = 1.67
The price for 1 kg of peeled carrots is $ 1.67
