Solution

To calculate the cost of manufacturing a single pair of jeans, you need to multiply the quantity of each resource used by its unit cost. Here's how you do it:

  1. Cotton: The cost of cotton per pair of jeans is calculated by multiplying the amount of cotton used (1.2 kilograms) by the cost per kilogram (1.65).So,1.2kg1.65). So, 1.2 kg * 1.65/kg = $1.98.

  2. Hardware: The cost of hardware per pair of jeans is straightforward because one set of hardware is used per pair of jeans. So, the cost is $1.42 per set.

  3. Labor: The cost of labor per pair of jeans is calculated by multiplying the hours of labor required (4.5 hours) by the cost per hour (12).So,4.5hours12). So, 4.5 hours * 12/hour = $54.

  4. Finally, add up the costs of cotton, hardware, and labor to get the total cost of manufacturing a single pair of jeans. So, 1.98(cotton)+1.98 (cotton) + 1.42 (hardware) + 54(labor)=54 (labor) = 57.40.

So, the cost of manufacturing a single pair of jeans for PETROL is $57.40.
