a) Yield Calculation for 16 oz Beers
b) Revenue and Contribution Margin Calculation for 10 oz Beers
Are you curious about how much beer you can get from a keg and the revenue it can generate for your business? Let's break it down!
Yield Calculation for 16 oz Beers:
When serving 16 oz beers, the yield of a keg can be calculated by dividing the total number of ounces in a keg (1,984 oz) by the size of each beer (16 oz).
Yield = Total Ounces / Ounces per BeerYield = 1,984 oz / 16 oz = 124 beers
So, the yield of a keg when serving 16 oz beers is 124 beers.
Revenue and Contribution Margin Calculation for 10 oz Beers:
When serving 10 oz beers at $5 per beer, the revenue generated from a single keg can be found by multiplying the number of beers in a keg (yield) by the price per beer.
Revenue = Yield * Price per BeerRevenue = 124 beers * $5 = $620
Therefore, the revenue generated from a single keg when serving 10 oz beers is $620.
Additionally, the contribution margin for a single keg can be calculated by subtracting the cost of the keg ($75) from the revenue generated.
Contribution Margin = Revenue - Cost of KegContribution Margin = $620 - $75 = $545
By understanding the yield and revenue calculations, you can optimize your business profitability when serving different size beers from a keg. Cheers to a successful beer business!
