The raw food cost for a rack of ribs portion is $11.00. It takes a cook a total of 9 minutes to properly prepare the ribs for service. If that cook is paid $12.60 an hour (0.21 per minute), what is the direct labour cost?
  1. $4.47
  2. $1.03
  3. $1.89
  4. $3.23
Explanation
Answer: C - The direct labour cost is $1.89. This is calculated with the following formula: (labour cost per hour÷60 minutes) × minutes of labour used= direct labour cost. If a cook is paid $12.60 per hour, and it takes them 9 minutes to prepare the ribs, then the formula looks like this: (12.60÷60)× 9= 1.89
