Now we will find out the cost per dozen.
= (Total Stitch quantity X 12 / 12000) = (Total Stitch quantity X 12) / 12000 X Rate   per unit= (6000 X 12) / 12000 X $0.25= 72000 / 12000 X $0.25= 6 X $0.25
= $1.50/dozen (without embroidery materials cost)
= $1.50 + $.30 is for embroidery materials like embroidery thread, bobbin thread, interlining.
= $1.80
