Question

You are the head seamstress at a boutique that specializes in making prom dresses. You are supervising the construction of a new style of dress that will take 180 hours of work to complete. Twenty percent of this time is for beading. Thirty-five percent of this time is for adding ruffles. The remaining time is divided equally between embroidery and sewing. When pricing this style, hourly labor and material costs are $40 for beading, $35 for ruffles, $20 for embroidery, and $18 for sewing. The dress is then sold in the showroom for 25% more than the cost of labor and materials. How much will this dress sell for in the boutique?

Answer 1

The amount at which the dress will sell for in the boutique is $6716.25.

What is the sellig price of the dress?

The total cost of beading = 180 x 25% x $40 = $1800

The total cost of ruffles = 35% x 180 x $35 = 2205

Time left for making embroidery and sewing = (100% - 35% - 25%)/2 = 20%

The total cost of embroidery = 20% x 180 x $20 = $720

The total cost of sewing = 20% x 180 x $18 = $648

Total cost = 5373

Selling price = 1.25 x 5373 = $6716.25
