Calculate the earnings of workers A and B under the straight piece rate system and Taylor’s differential piece rate system from the following particulars:
|
Normal rate per hours: Rs 1.80 |
|
Standard time per unit: 20 seconds |
|
Differentials to be applied: |
|
80% of piece rate below standard |
|
120% of piece rate at or above standard |
|
Worker A produces 1,300 units per day, and worker B produces 1,500 units per day |
|
