Costing For Profit: A Professional's Guide to Effective Costing
Description*
Every entrepreneur’s ultimate goal is to run a successful company.
Understanding the complexity of how to cost effectively will play a
major part in achieving this goal. A good idea and the right market
niche can lead you to your dream of running a successful apparel
business. However, for how long? It is a multi-faceted industry with
many important components that should be fully understood when
calculating your selling cost. Determining all the costs and all the
components will be the key to your company’s success. One missing item
or miscalculation from the cost sheet could lead to the loss of a
season’s profit, and if not realized in time could ultimately lead to
the failure of your company.
