Q. Upon quarterly audit, the accountant found an error: The beginning inventory for the month of January was overstated. How would this effect the cost of goods sold (COGS) and net income for the month of January? The COGS for January would be more than it actually was, and the net income would be less than it actually was. The COGS for January would be less than it actually was, and the net income would be less than it actually was. The COGS for January would be more than it actually was, and the net income would be more than it actually was. The COGS for January would not be affected, and the net income for February would be less than it actually was.

The correct answer is A. Beginning inventory serves as the basis for calculations of cost of goods purchased to meet production needs, the resulting cost of goods sold, and, consequently, the net income of the facility. Beginning with an overstated figure will appear as if the cost of goods sold was higher (adding the higher beginning inventory figure to the actual purchases made to meet production needs). This will also result in the appearance that it cost more to produce what was sold and therefore net income was lower. Weygant, JJ, Kieso, DE, Kimmel, PD, DeFranco, AL.

What financial information is obtained by subtracting cost of goods sold from total sales in a given period?

Gross profit Explanation: Net profit subtracts expenses from gross profit; final profit is merely another way of referring to "net profit." Operating costs refer to expenses. Total sales less cost of goods is the gross profit.

Sales $127,771 Cost of Sales $54,779 Salaries $31,324 FICA $4,380 Benefits $8,191 Utilities $3,697 Supplies $4,272 Depreciation $16,579 Taxes $2,324 Calculate Gross profit Net profit Profit margin

Gross profit = $127,771 - $54,779 = $72,992 Net profit = $127,771 - ALL = $2,225 Profit margin = $2,225 / $127,771 = 0.017 = 0.02 profit margin

Q. For credentialed RDNs and NDTRs, what is the basic difference between a statutory scope of practice and an individual scope of practice? A statutory (legal) scope of practice is, primarily, defined at the state level and an individual scope of practice is flexible and defined by the individual's professional practice. A statutory (legal) scope of practice is defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and an individual's scope of practice in nutrition and dietetics is determined by the employer. A statutory (legal) scope of practice is defined by the US Department of Health and Human Services and an individual scope of practice is defined by the areas in which the practitioner provides services. There is no difference. All credentialed dietetics practitioners have the same statutory and individual scope of practice.

The correct answer is A. "Legal scopes of practice for the health care professions establish which professionals may provide which health care services, in which settings, and under which guidelines or parameters. With few exceptions, determining scopes of practice is a state-based activity. State legislatures consider and pass the practice acts, which become state statute or code. State regulatory agencies, such as medical and other health professions' boards, implement the laws by writing and enforcing rules and regulations detailing the acts." An individual's scope of practice in nutrition and dietetics has flexible boundaries to capture the breadth of the individual's professional practice. Individuals and organizations must ethically take responsibility for determining the practitioner's competence to provide a specific service. Not all RDNs and NDTRs will practice to the full extent of the range of nutrition and dietetics practice.

Q. The tricarboxylic cycle begins with the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA. oxaloacetate. ATP. hydrogen ions.

The correct answer is A. The tricarboxylic cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, uses the two molecules of pyruvic acid formed in glycolysis and yields adenosine triphosphate. Before entering the Krebs cycle, the pyruvic acid molecules are altered. Each of the three carbon pyruvic acid molecules undergoes conversion to a substance called acetyl-CoA. In the process, electrons and a hydrogen ion are transferred to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). The NAD molecule also acquires a hydrogen ion and becomes NADH. At the end of the Krebs cycle, the final product is oxaloacetic acid. This is identical to the oxaloacetic acid that begins the cycle. Whitney EN, Rolfes S. Understanding Nutrition. 13th ed. Boston, MA: Cengage; 2012.

Q. After protein digestion, what is the predominant product absorbed into circulation? Amino acids Amino acids and oligopeptides Amino acids and dipeptides Amino acids, dipeptides, and tripeptides

The correct answer is A. The two main products of protein digestion are free amino acids and peptides (including dipeptides and tripeptides). The body has intestinal carriers for both products to be absorbed; however, the predominant form absorbed into circulation is amino acids. The amino acids are then absorbed into the blood and used to build up the body's own proteins.

Q. Bacterial spoilage is most likely to occur at which water activity (aw)? 0.90 0.70 0.50 0.30

The correct answer is A. The water activity of a food is the ratio between the vapor pressure of the food itself, when in a completely undisturbed balance with the surrounding air media and the vapor pressure of distilled water under identical conditions. A water activity of 0.80 means the vapor pressure is 80% of that of pure water. The water activity increases with temperature. The moisture condition of a product can be measured as the equilibrium relative humidity expressed in percentage or as the water activity expressed as a decimal. The higher the water activity, the more likely the food is to spoil. Brown AC. Understanding Food: Principles and Preparation. 5th ed. Boston, MA: Cengage; 2014.

Q. In order to prevent deterioration by slowing respiration, ____________________ would be stored in modified-atmosphere packaging. bottled water apple slices ground turkey orange juice

The correct answer is B. By modifying the atmosphere in which the food is packaged, spoilage is markedly reduced and the shelf life of the product is increased. Sliced apples are packaged this way to reduce spoilage and oxidation. Specifically, the type and proportion of gas used in the packaging is largely dictated by the type of food in the package and the sort of decay or change that the food undergoes. To package a product in a modified atmosphere requires sophisticated machinery to flush out air from the packaging chamber and replace it with a different gas or precisely defined mixture of gases, then seal the product in the packaging so that only the modified atmosphere and not any other unwanted gas surrounds the product.

Q. The inventory turnover rate for four establishments are as follows: The Green Café = 2, The Red Café = 4, The Blue Café = 6, and The Yellow Cafe = 3. Based on what you know about inventory turnover rate, which of these establishments is most likely to use a just-in-time purchasing system? The Green Café The Red Café The Blue Café The Yellow Café

The correct answer is C. Inventory turnover rate identifies a facility's level of product held in inventory. The higher the inventory turnover rate, the less product held in storage and the more often deliveries are made to meet production needs. Just-in-time purchasing relies on minimum inventory and will therefore have a higher inventory turnover rate. Because The Blue Café has the highest turnover rate of all four establishments, it is the one most likely to use just-in-time purchasing. Gregoire MB, Spears MC.

Q. Which of the following foods would you expect to empty from the stomach most quickly? French fries Oatmeal Fruit juice Scrambled eggs

The correct answer is C. Most of a liquid meal empties within 1 to 2 hours and most of a solid meal empties within 2 to 3 hours. When eaten alone, carbohydrates leave the stomach the most rapidly, followed by protein, fat, and fibrous food. In a meal with mixed types of foods, emptying of the stomach depends on the overall volume and characteristics of the foods. Liquids empty more rapidly than solids, large particles empty more slowly than small particles, and concentrated food tends to empty more slowly than low-calorie meals.

Q. Which fat would be most susceptible to flavor reversion due to oxidative rancidity? Butter fat Coconut oil Soybean oil Olive oil

The correct answer is C. Oxidative rancidity is associated with the degradation by oxygen in the air. Oxidation primarily occurs with unsaturated fats. The more saturated fat contained in an oil, the less susceptible it is to rancidity. The greater the amount of unsaturated fat in an oil, the more likely it is to become rancid. Since the healthiest plant oils are all highly unsaturated, they are especially susceptible to rancidity. However, extra virgin olive oil is a little less susceptible to rancidity because a larger amount of its unsaturated fat is monounsaturated. Extra virgin olive is about 75% monounsaturated, which is somewhat unusual for a plant oil. Plant oils usually have more polyunsaturated fat than monounsaturated fat, which is one reason they are particularly susceptible to rancidity. Thus, soybean oil would be more susceptible than olive oil.

Q. What name is given to the purchasing method that involves purchasing products as needed for production and immediate consumption without having to store and record products in inventory? Centralized Group Just-in-time Independent

The correct answer is C. Purchasing products that go straight to the areas in which they will be used is called just-in-time purchasing. With just-in-time purchasing, the foods do not enter storage areas and are not part of the inventory. In centralized purchasing, purchasing activity is done by one person or department. In group purchasing, some purchasing is done with other operations beyond one's own. Gregoire MB, Spears MC. Foodservice Organizations: A Managerial and Systems Approach. 9th ed.

Q. Which dietary reference intake (DRI) value estimates the nutrient needs to meet the requirements of at least half of individuals in a population? RDA AI EAR UL

The correct answer is C. RDA, or Recommended Dietary Allowance, is the average daily dietary intake level sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97% to 98%) healthy individuals in a group. EAR, the Estimated Average Requirement, is the intake that meets the established nutrient needs of one-half of the individuals in a specific group. AI, Adequate Intake, is an estimate of average requirements when evidence is not available to establish an RDA. UL, Tolerable Upper Intake Level, is the maximum intake by an individual that is unlikely to pose risks for adverse health effect in a healthy individual in a specific group. There is no established standard for individuals to consume nutrients at levels above the RDA or AI.

Q. A supervisor noted that the quality of work produced by an employee was declining because of excessive tardiness. The best initial course of action would be to dismiss the employee for not working enough hours. report the employee to the facility manager. issue a verbal warning to the employee. transfer the employee to a flex-time position

The correct answer is C. Transferring the employee to another position does not guarantee improved quality or punctuality. There was no indication that the employee work hours decreased to necessitate a change in employment status. Reporting the employee to the facility manager gives the impression that the supervisor cannot do his or her job. The supervisor should be able to document that the employee was given a verbal reprimand before further actions can be taken. Payne-Palacio J, Theis M. Foodservice Management Principles and Practice. 12th ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall; 2012.

Q. Which of the following describes the term "validity"? It refers to the consistency and accuracy with which a test measures something in the same way over time.

Which food is most likely to deteriorate due to hydrolytic rancidity during storage at room temperature? Fish oil Soybean oil Olive oil Butter

The correct answer is D. Hydrolytic rancidity occurs when water splits fatty acid chains away from the glycerol backbone in triglycerides (fats). The chemical term is ester hydrolysis. Usually this hydrolysis process goes unnoticed, since most fatty acids are odorless and tasteless. However, when the triglyceride is derived from short-chain fatty acids, the released carboxylic acid can confer strong flavors and odors. A particular problem arises with butter, which contains triglycerides with a high content of butyric acid derivatives and acetic acids.

Team formation occurs during the "O" stage of FOCUS-PDSA, and explanation of the current process occurs during the "C" stage. Joint Commission Resources. Cost-Effective Performance Improvement in Hospitals. Oakbrook Terrace, IL: JCAHO; 2005:94.

Q. Sandra, the new cook, was monitoring the final cooking temperature of the beef roast for dinner service. The recipe called for the roast to be cooked to medium, an internal temperature of 160°F. Sandra removed the roast when the internal temperature reached 160°F. However, 15 minutes later, when serving the beef roast, the meat was well done. Using the same thermometer, Sandra rechecked the internal temperature, and the thermometer read 175°F. What caused the roast to be overdone? Sandra did not calibrate her thermometer. The cooking time was incorrect. The oven thermostat was incorrect. Carry-over cooking had occurred.

The correct answer is D. If Sandra wants the roast to be at 160°F, she must take it out of the oven before it reaches that temperature. This happens due to carry-over cooking, where the meat continues to cook after it is removed from the oven because the outside of the meat is hotter than the inside, and heat continues to be conducted into the meat until the heat is equalized throughout. Gregoire MB, Spears MC. Foodservice Organizations: A Managerial and Systems Approach. 9th ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson; 2016.

Q. If the carbohydrate content of the diet is insufficient to meet the body's needs for energy, which of the following can be converted to glucose? Acetyl-CoA Fatty acids Carbon dioxide Amino acids

Q. What is the invoice cost to serve 85 lb of cooked, sliced ham if whole, bone-in hams weigh 18 lb as purchased (AP), have an AP to edible portion waste percent of 44, and cost $1.83 per AP pound? $155.55 $223.99 $277.78 $296.46

The correct answer is D. Multiplying 18 lb (weight of each ham) by 0.44 (waste percent) results in (approximately) 8 pounds of waste. So, for each 18 lb ham, only about 10 lbs represent an edible portion. Therefore, it will be necessary to buy 9 hams to serve 85 pounds of cooked, sliced ham (since 8 whole hams would only produce 80 lbs of cooked, sliced ham, so 9 whole hams must be purchased to meet the required 85 lbs.). The cost for the 9 hams is 18 lb × $1.83 × 9 = $296.46. Molt M, Shugart G. Food for Fifty. 13th ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Prentice Hall; 2011:190.
