Cost of Making (CM) details of a Sweater
Cost of Making (CM) details of a Sweater
1. Yarn winding charge: Yarn winding cost is $0.03/lbs. + Wax cost $0.02/lbs, total ( $0.03 + $0.02) = $0.05/lbs. So, if the weight of the sweater is 12 lbs/doz, then the winding cost will be (12X0.05) = $0.60/doz
2. Knitting Charge: Actually knitting cost can be varied depends on style. However you can calculate it by this way, which I’m describing now.
i) As per economic condition of our country, normal wages of a knitting operator with average skill should be $4.85/day.
ii) So, if the operator produced (knit) 10 pcs sweater per day then the knitting cost of following sweater will be ($4.85/10) $0.485/pc.
iii) Or if the same operator produced the following sweater 5 pcs/day then the knitting cost will be ($4.85/5) = $0.97/pc.
iv) In other hand if he produces 15 pcs/day then the cost will be ($4.85/15) $0.323/pcs.
v) So, we must calculate the knitting charge based on average production capacity. Suppose: for the 10 pcs production knitting cost will be ($.485x12) $5.82/dozen.
3. Linking Charge: For an average style the linking cost should be $1.67 / dozen.
4. Trimming Charge: Average trimming cost is $0.34/doz.
5. Light Check Charge: Average Light check cost is $0.1/doz.
6. Mending Charge: Average mending cost is $0.5/doz.
7. Wash: Average washing cost is $0.35/doz.
8. Ironing Charge: Average Iron cost is $0.35/doz.
9. PQC Charge: Average PQC cost is $0.25/doz
10. Additional charge: Now add additional $2.00/doz for button stitching, button hole etc.
_______________________________________
Total cost will be = $11.98/doz
Now you must add followings cost with this total amount to find out the CM.
