10. FINISHING
Give directions as to the process of finishing to which the goods are to be subjected, whether to be pressed, calendered, sized, moired, etc.
11. CALCULATION OF COST
If all the foregoing conditions are ascertained, and
a sample or a piece of the fabric executed, it remains
to the manufacturer to determine the exact figure
at which he can produce the article. That this
must be done with great accuracy is naturally of the
utmost importance, and the calculator
[Page
73]
must know in the first place the raw stock prices,
and also be acquainted with the details of the manufacturing
process and the rates of wages paid therein.
As a rule, the manufacturer establishes a scale of
prices covering all the items of labor cost, mill
expenses, etc., and uses this as a basis for
his calculations.
A rule or formula for this operation cannot very well be given, as the methods vary in almost every establishment, each choosing the one best adapted to its ideas or dictates of circumstances and conditions.
