b.5 Operating expenditure of the hotel.

  • Food & Beverage direct ops cost is maintained between 30–40% of F&B Revenue. (apart from direct ingredients, it includes hiring equipment, fuel, music & entertainment, cleaning material/agents, etc)
  • Manpower & Welfare cost is maintained between 18–22% of Total Revenue
  • Room division directing ops cost is maintained between 13–16% of Room Revenue.
  • LHF (lighting, heating & fuel) cost is maintained between 9–12% of Total Revenue
  • Repair, Replacement and renewal / AMC cost is maintained between 8–12% of Total Revenue.

c.Disadvantages of profit method :

The profit method does not require major computations. Accountants need to subtract an item’s cost from its sales price and then divide it by the sales price. This results in the gross profit percentage. Multiplying this percentage by total sales will provide the cost of goods sold for the current period. Accountants can subtract the current period’s cost of goods sold from the company’s beginning inventory amount. This provides an estimate for the company’s ending inventory.

Disadvantages:

  • Large inventories with several small items can be difficult to count repeatedly.
  • Using an accounting calculation to provide inventory figures can result in potentially inaccurate figures.
  • Companies may experience larger inventory write-offs with the gross profit method.
  • Under this method, accountants may not adjust inventory for lost, stolen, damaged or obsolete inventory items.
