The size ratio of an order of 900 pieces is XS:S:M:L:XL::1:2:3:2:1. According to this ratio average fabric consumption for the
style was 1.2 meters. Every size increase, increases the consumption by 10 cm. Due some reason buyer dropped the Size XS and
keeps the order quantity same. New size ratio is S:M:L:XL::2:3:3:1. What will be the new average fabric consumption?
1.25 meters
1.20 meters
1.23 meters
1.30 meters

Question 1.
Initial quantity break-up size wise XS=100, S=200, M=300, L=200, XL=100
Size wise consumption: XS=1.0, S=1.1, M=1.2, L=1.3, XL=1.4
After changes: quantity break-up size wise S=200, M=300, L=300, XL=100
So, Size wise Fabric consumption would be S@1.1 * 200=220 mtrs,
M@1.2 * 300=360 mtrs,
L@1.3 * 300 = 390 mtrs
XL@1.4 * 100 =140 mtrs
Therefore average consumption =(220+360+390+140)/900 =1.23333 Meters.
2.

Suppose an order of 6000 pieces have four different size ratios as following. Arrange them in descending order average
consumption?
a. S:M:L:XL:: 1:2:2:1 b. XS:S:M:L:: 1:1:2:2 c. XS:S:M:L:: 1:2:2:1 d. S:M:L:XL:: 2:2:1:1

Question 2.
When you break total quantity as per ratio you will size wise quantity as following.
As a general rule size wise consumption XS<S<M<L<XL.
So higher the quantity in higher sizes higher would be the consumption.
XS S M L XL
a. 0
1000 2000 2000 1000
b. 1000 1000 2000 2000 0
c. 1000 2000 2000 1000 0
d. 0
2000 2000 1000 1000
From the above quantity break-up the descending order would be a<d<b<c

A shipment is passed with 2.5 AQL by a buyer QA. Suppose after receiving the shipment buyer do re-inspection of the same

a. Less than 2.5% b. More than 2.5% c. Exactly 2.5% d. Could be more or less than 2.5%

Suppose the average ratio of FOB factors are Fabric:Print&Emb:CMT:Overhead:Margin ::12:1:3:1:3. FOB of order is Rs.
400.00. Suddenly, fabric price is hiked by 5% and all other costs remain same. Once FOB is freezed you cannot change it. In this
situation what will be the reduction in margin for this order?
10%
20%
30%
50%

Question. 4.
Break total FOB Rs 400 as per cost ratio
12 :1 :3 :1 :3

240 :20 :60 :20 :60

Fabric cost increased by 5% i.e Rs. 12. So margin will be less by Rs. 12.
Current ratio is 252:20:60:20:48
Current margin = Rs. 48.
So reduction in margin = 12/60*100 = 20%
