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 Knitting Charge: Actually knitting cost can be varied depends on style. However you can calculate it by this way, which Im describing now. As per economic condition of our country, normal wages of a knitting operator with average skill should be $4.85/day. 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. Or if the same operator produced the following sweater 5 pcs/day then the knitting cost will be ($4.85/5) = $0.97/pc. In other hand if he produces 15pcs/day then the cost will be ($4.85/15) $0.323/pcs. So, we must calculate the knitting charge based on average production capacity. Suppose: for the 10 pcs production knitting cost will be ($.485x12) $5.82/dozen.

Above is only a way of calculation not fixed rules, its may changed any time depending on your style. Normally factories quote the CM as $28 to $32 for none Jacquard items. Hope, above will help you. (Collected)
