Recipe Cost Calculator — illustrative example INPUT A 1 kg bag of rice costs USD 3; recipe uses 200 g. Other used ingredients total USD 1.40; recipe makes 2 servings. RESULT Rice cost: 200 ÷ 1,000 × USD 3 = USD 0.60. Ingredient total: USD 2.00, or USD 1.00 per serving. Labor, energy and unlisted waste are excluded. REVIEW Recipe costing should use the amount consumed from each purchase and account for yield where relevant. Show packaging, waste and overhead separately from ingredient cost. This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
