Solution:

To calculate the knitting cost and rate we have to follow the below knitting cost calculation formulas:

1. Fabric Manufacturing and Selling Cost Calculation:
 

Knit fabric cost/kg,

     Direct material (D.M) + Direct labor (D.L) + Direct expenses (D.E) + Overhead (OH)
= …………………………………..………………………………………..…………………….…      ….(1)

                                                      Total production

2. Knit Fabric Manufacturing Cost calculation:

 

Knitting cost/kg,

     Direct labor (D.L) + Direct expenses (D.E) + Overhead (OH)
= ……………………………………………………………………………        ………….. (2)

                                  Total production

Total Production Calculation:
Total production,
= Yarn used –wastage%
= 1000-2%
= 1000-20

= 980kg

Total Production Time Calculation:

Total production time = Total production/production capacity per shift …………………… (3)

Now,
Production capacity/shift,
= No. of machines × capacity
= 2×70

= 140kg

Now, from equation (3), we get,
Total production time,
= 980/140

= 7 shift

Direct Material (D.M) Cost calculation:
Yarn cost,
= 1000 × Rs. 200

= Rs. 200000

Direct Labor (D.L) Cost calculation:
Operator wage = No. of operator × No. of shifts × Rs. 200 = 2×7×200 = Rs. 2800
Helper wage = No. of helper × No. of shifts × Rs. 100 = 1×7×100 = Rs. 700

 

Inspection wage = No. of inspector × No. of shifts × Rs. 100 = 1×7×200 = Rs. 1400

So,
Direct labor (D.B) cost,
= Rs. 2800+ Rs. 700+ Rs. 1400

= Rs. 4900

Direct Expense (D.E) Cost Calculation:

Direct expense = 0

Overhead (OH) Cost Calculation:

In case of power,

= (Cost × 7 shifts)/ (30days× 3 shifts in a day) = {(4000×7)/90} = Rs. 311

In case of rent,

= (Cost × 7 shifts)/ (30days× 3 shifts in a day) = {(8000×7)/90} = Rs. 622

In case of transport,

= (Cost × 7 shifts)/ (30days× 3 shifts in a day) = {(6000×7)/90} = Rs. 467

In case of salary,

= (Cost × 7 shifts)/ (30days× 3 shifts in a day) = {(25000×7)/90} = Rs. 1944

In case of others expense,

= (Cost × 7 shifts)/ (30days× 3 shifts in a day) = {(24000×7)/90} = Rs. 1867

So,
Total overheads,
= Rs. 311+ Rs. 622+ Rs. 467+ Rs. 1944+ Rs. 1867

= Rs. 5211

Now, from equation (1), we get,
Knit fabric cost/kg,

= {(200000+4900+0+5211/980)} = Rs. 214.40

After adding 10% profit, knit fabric cost stands at,
= {214.40/ (1-10%)}

= Rs. 238.20

Again,
From equation (2), we get,
Knitting rate or knitting cost per kg,
= {(4900+0+5211)/980}

= Rs. 10.30

After adding 10% profit, knitting rate stands at,
= {10.30/ (1-10%)}
= Rs. 11.45
