1. Yield Percent
Chapters 7-8

2. APQ and EPQ APQ = As Purchased Quantity EPQ = Edible Portion Quantity
Example: Whole Bananas with the peel on.
EPQ = Edible Portion Quantity
Example: Peeled Bananas (ready to eat)

3. Trim Trim = APQ- EPQ Example: 50# sack of Potatoes
Once Peeled and cleaned the potatoes weigh 42.5#
50# # = 7.5# (trim)

4. Yield Percent Formula Yield % = Edible Portion Quantity x 100
As-Purchased Quantity

5. Finding the Yield Percent
50 # of Potatoes Yields 42.5# of peeled usable potatoes.
42.5 # = .85 x 100 = 85%
50 #

6. Using Yield % Charts Yield % charts are only approximate
You must do your own yield tests on the actual product you are using in order to get completely accurate figures.
Some factors that affect yield:
Employee skill level
Size of the product
Condition or quality of the product

7. Calculating the APQ APQ = EPQ Yield Percent
Used to determine how much product you need to buy when you know how much finished product is needed, and you know what the yield % is.

8. Calculating the EPQ APQ x Yield % = EPQ
This formula is used to calculate how much usable product you can get when you know the As Purchased Quantity and the Yield %
