    • Less Healthy 

    • In season

    • Organic

    • More Healthy

    Correct Answer
    A. In season
    Explanation
    Fresh fruits and vegetables are typically lower priced when they are in season. This is because when produce is in season, there is usually an abundance of it, leading to increased supply. With more supply available, the prices tend to decrease as farmers and suppliers compete to sell their products. Additionally, when fruits and vegetables are in season, they are often locally sourced, reducing transportation and storage costs, which further contributes to their lower price.

    The formula to calculate beverage cost is:

    • Beverage sales divided by purchases.

    • Beverage sales divided by cost of beverage sales.

    Correct Answer
    A. Cost of beverage sales divided by beverage sales.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Cost of beverage sales divided by beverage sales." This formula calculates the cost of the beverages sold by dividing the cost of beverage sales by the total beverage sales. This ratio helps determine the profitability of the beverage sales by comparing the cost of the beverages to the revenue generated from their sales. A higher ratio indicates a higher profit margin, while a lower ratio suggests lower profitability.
