From the following particulars, calculate total earnings of each worker under Gantt's Task and Bonus<br />

Scheme:<br />

Solution:<br />

Standard production per week per worker is 2000 units, piece work rate Rs. 5 per unit<br />

Actual production during the month :<br />

A-WOO units<br />

B - 2000 units<br />

C - 2500 units<br />

Standard production per month = 2000 units<br />

Piece work rate = Re. 0.50 per unit<br />

. '. Guaranteed Time Rate =<br />

Level of Efficiency:<br />

Standard output per month = 2000 units<br />

2000<br />

0.50<br />

= Rs. 4000 per month<br />

(100% efficiency)<br />

A's actual production = 1000 units<br />

1000<br />

A's level of efficiency = --- x 100 = 50 %<br />

2000<br />

B's actual production = 2000 units<br />

2000<br />

B's level of efficieQcy = x 100 = 100 %<br />

2000<br />

Earnings:<br />

C's actual production<br />

= 2500 units<br />

2500<br />

A's level of efficiency = x 100 = 125 %<br />

2000<br />

Under Gantt's Task and Bonus Plan wages are computed as follows:<br />

Output<br />

Below Standard<br />

At Standard<br />

Above Standard<br />

The earnings of the worker will be as follows :<br />

A (50% below the standard)<br />

B (100% efficiency)<br />

C (125% efficiency above standard)<br />

=<br />

=<br />

Rate<br />

Guaranteed Time Wages<br />

Given piece wages plus bonus of 20%<br />

High piece rate on worker's whole output.<br />

Rs. 4000 (Guaranteed monthly wages)<br />

2000 units x Re. 0.50 per unit + Bonus of 20%<br />

Rs. 1000 + 20% of Rs. 1000<br />

=<br />

= Rs. 1000 + 200 = Rs. 1200<br />

= . 2500 units x Re. 0.50 + Bonus of 20%<br />

Rs. 1250 + 20% of Rs. 1250<br />

= Rs.1500
