SEWING TECHNOLOGY - CITS

Based on our existing cost sheet, we can make estimates of our costs for the next financial year. It helps to
prepare and make the necessary arrangement of funds for costs of the next financial year.
Elements of Cost
Prime Cost: It comprises direct material, direct wages, and direct expenses. Alternatively, the Prime cost is the
cost of material consumed, productive wages, and direct expenses.
Factory Cost: Factory cost or works cost or manufacturing cost or production cost includes in addition to the
prime cost, the cost of indirect material, indirect labour, and indirect expenses. It also includes the amount or units
of WIP or incomplete units at the end of the period.
Cost of Production: When Office and administration cost at the end of the period are added to the Factory cost,
we arrive at the cost of production or cost of goods sold. Here, we make an adjustment for opening and Closing
finished goods.

Total Cost: Total cost or alternatively cost of sales is the cost of production plus selling and distribution overheads.
