Calculate the number of FTEs required to serve the expected number of meals for the month of September. ♦ a. 16 , ♦ b. 20, ♦ c. 14 , ♦ d. 10 The correct answer is A. 16 FTE ♦ To calculate FTEs required for the month of September: add the number of total meals (31,250 + 7,500 = 38,750); divide total meals by meals produced per hour of labor 38,750 divided by 14 meals per hour = 2,768 hours; divide labor hours by the number of hours a FTE works each month (2080 hours per year divided by 12 months per year = 173) 2,768 hours divided by 173 hours per month = 16 FTEs You are teaching a cooking class on how to add flavor to foods without adding salt. When cooking green beans, you add lemon juice which turns the vegetable olive green. The chlorophyll pigment has come into contact with an acid and as a result the pigment has chemically ♦ changed to: a. chlorophyllin ♦ b. anthocyanin ♦ c. pheophytin ♦ d. none of these, it remains the same The correct answer is C. pheophytin ♦ When chlorophyll (concentrated in green plants) comes in contact with an acid (lemon juice), the chlorophyll chemically changes to pheophytin (gives an appearance of a dull olive green color). ♦ Chlorophyllin results when an alkali (baking soda) is added to a chlorophyll containing vegetable. This pigment gives a bright green appearance. Anthocyanin is the red, blue pigment normally found in produce such as red cabbage. A patient has an elevated MCV and is diagnosed with megaloblastic anemia. You suspect _________ deficiency and recommend ________ as good food sources of this nutrient. ♦ a. folic acid; cheese and raisins ♦ b. iron; green leafy vegetables and red meats ♦ c. folic acid; beans and spinach ♦ d. iron; dried figs and liver The Answer is C. Folic Acid, beans and spinach
♦ Megaloblastic anemia is a result of abnormally
large, immature red blood cells. MCV is elevated with this type of anemia. The vitamin deficiency for this type of anemia is either folate or vitamin B12. Good sources of folate include beans, vegetables, and some fruits. ♦ Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by abnormally small (microcytic) and hypochromic red blood cells. MCV is lower than normal with this type of anemia. Good sources of iron include liver, meats, dried fruits. A patient is experiencing ketosis due to diabetes complications and a reduced pCO2. You suspect: ♦ a. metabolic acidosis ♦ b. metabolic alkalosis ♦ c. respiratory acidosis ♦ d. respiratory alkalosis The correct answer is A. Metabolic Acidosis ♦ Metabolic acidosis is characterized by a reduced pCO2 and/or pH. Causes may include starvation, low carbohydrate diet, or diabetic ketosis. ♦ Metabolic alkalosis is characterized by an increased pH and causes may include diuretic use or persistent vomiting. Respiratory acidosis is characterized by reduced pH and is generally due to reduced breathing (hypoventilation) secondary to COPD, emphysema, or asthma. Respiratory alkalosis is characterized by increased pH and generally due to increased breathing (hyperventilation). Which of the following is used as a coenzyme to aid in transamination?
♦ a. vitamin B6 ♦ b. vitamin B12 ♦ c. vitamin B1 ♦ d. none of these The correct answer is A . Vitamin B6

What are the fixed costs for February considering the given ♦ information? a. $175.00 , ♦ b. $51,300 , ♦ c. $30,815 , ♦ d. none of these The correct answer is A. $175.00 ♦ The only fixed cost, for February, given in the problem is monthly building insurance. Fixed costs remain constant regardless of the level of production. The problem states monthly building insurance is $175.00. ♦ None of the other information is relevant considering the actual question, "What are fixed costs for February?" Sales to date represents total sales to date for the year, but has nothing to do with this question. The other information, although important for financial analysis, is not needed to answer this question. You are conducting a study to evaluate the effects of a high fat diet on blood triglyceride levels of obese women. Which of the following is the independent variable? ♦ a. triglyceride levels ♦ b. obese women ♦ c. high fat diet ♦ d. none of these The correct answer is C. high fat diet ♦ The independent variable is the manipulated variable which influences other variables. The high fat diet is thought to influence blood triglyceride levels. ♦ The dependent variable has a variable outcome determined by presence of other variables. Triglycerides have a variable outcome due to the amount of fat in the diet. Obese women are the study group. Which type of flour is best used when preparing muffins? ♦ a. bread flour ♦ b. cake flour ♦ c. all-purpose flour ♦ d. pastry flour The correct answer is C. All-purpose flour ♦ All-purpose flour is used for optimal structure in quick bread products > such as muffins. The gluten found in all-purpose flour is less strong and elastic compared to bread flours. ♦ Bread flour is higher in protein and would produce a more elastic product. Pastry flour is lower in protein than all-purpose flour and usually used in cookies and pastries. Cake flour is low in protein compared to others and is used for delicate baked goods. You need to prepare 350-4 oz. portions of broccoli with an 81% yield. How much do you need to purchase considering this yield? ♦ a. 88 lbs ♦ b. 108 lbs ♦ c. 120 lbs ♦ d. 135 lbs The correct answer is B. 108 lbs ♦ This question is asking you to calculate the AP (As Purchased) amount needed to produce this yield. The AP amount is the amount of product needed including unusable items. To calculate: 350 portions × 4 oz = 1400 oz; 1400 divided by0.81 = 1728; 1728 oz divided by 16 oz/lb = 108 lbs. information for ABC Foodservice. Current Assets are $95,000.
