Numerical Problems on Estimating & Costing

Question 1: A lot of 1000 pieces of a job costs the following: 

a) Cost of material = Rs. 20000 

b) Labour cost = Rs. 15000 

c) Cost of tools = Rs. 8000 

d) Factory on cost = 150% on labour 

e) Office on cost = 30% on factory cost 

f) Selling on cost = 20% on cost of production 

The selling price of each piece is Rs. 120. Determine whether there is a profit or loss.

Solution:

Given: Material cost = Rs. 20,000 

Labour cost = Rs. 15,000 

Tool cost = Rs. 8,000 

Factory on cost = 150% of Labour cost 

Office on cost = 30% of Factory cost 

Selling on cost = 20% of Cost of Production 

Selling price per piece = Rs. 120 

Number of pieces = 1000

Factory on cost = 150% of Labour = 150% of 15,000 = ₹22,500 

So, Factory Cost = Material + Labour + Tools + Factory on cost = 20,000 + 15,000 + 8,000 + 22,500 = Rs. 65,500 

Office on cost = 30% of Factory Cost = 30% of 65,500 = ₹19,650 

So, Total Cost of Production = Factory Cost + Office on cost = 65,500 + 19,650 = Rs. 85,150 

Selling on cost = 20% of Cost of Production = 20% of 85,150 = ₹17,030 

So, Total Cost (including Selling Cost) = 85,150 + 17,030 = Rs. 102,180 

Selling price per piece = Rs. 120 

Total Selling Price = 120 × 1000 = Rs. 120,000 

Profit = Total Selling Price − Total Cost = 120,000 − 102,180 = Rs. 17,820 (Profit) 

Conclusion: There is a Profit of Rs. 17,820 on the lot of 1000 pieces.


Question 2. Calculate the weight of the machine component as shown in figure given below, if the material weighs 7.8 gm/cc. Also determine the cost of material, if its rate is Rs. 60/Kg. All dimensions are in mm.

Estimating & Costing of Machine Component
Solution: 
Given Dimensions: 
Density: 7.8 gm/cc = 7.8 × 10⁻³ gm/mm³ 
Material Rate: Rs. 60/kg 
1.Cylinder (left): 
Diameter = 20 mm 
Length = 30 mm 
2.Frustum (tapered section): 
Large diameter = 40 mm 
Small diameter = 20 mm 
Height = 25 mm 
Volume = (1/3)πh(R₁² + R₁R₂ + R₂²) [where R₁ = 20, R₂ = 10] 
=18325.9 mm³ 
3.Cylinder (middle): 
Diameter = 50 mm 
Length = 20 mm 
Volume = π/4 × 50² × 20 = 39269.9 mm³ 

Volume = π/4 × d² × h = π/4 × 20² × 30 = 9424.8 mm³ 

4.Cylinder (right): 

Diameter = 40 mm 

Length = 40 mm 

Volume = π/4 × 40² × 40 = 50265.5 mm³ 

5.Cone (end part): 

Diameter = 40 mm, Angle = 60° → height = (d/2) × cot(30°) = 20 × √3 ≈ 34.64 mm 

Volume = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3)π(20²)(34.64) = 14509.9 mm³ 

So, total volume of the machine component = 9424.8 + 18325.9 + 39269.9 + 50265.5 + 14509.9 = 131796 mm³ 

Now, total weight of the component = 131796 × 7.8 × 10⁻³ = 1028 gms = 1.028 Kgs (Ans) 

And, total cost of the material = 1.028 × 60 Rs = 61.68 Rs. (Ans)
