What were the results of the restaurant's actual revenue, relative to its actual costs?



Answer :

Let's analyze the results of the restaurant's actual revenue and actual costs step-by-step:

1. Find the Actual Revenue:
The actual revenue is given in the table as "Total Sales (Revenue)".
[tex]\[ \text{Actual Revenue} = \$25,178 \][/tex]

2. Find the Actual Costs:
The actual costs are given in the table as "Total Costs".
[tex]\[ \text{Actual Costs} = \$29,184 \][/tex]

3. Calculate the Difference between Actual Revenue and Actual Costs:
To determine the difference, subtract the actual costs from the actual revenue.
[tex]\[ \text{Revenue Difference} = \text{Actual Revenue} - \text{Actual Costs} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Revenue Difference} = \$25,178 - \$29,184 = -\$4,006 \][/tex]

4. Interpret the Result:
The result of [tex]\(-\$4,006\)[/tex] indicates that the restaurant's actual costs exceeded the actual revenue by \[tex]$4,006. Thus, the restaurant had a deficit, with its actual revenue being \$[/tex]4,006 less than its actual costs.
