Hi everyone~
I’m a newcomer in this website, I’m facing problem in F2- axamination- question 7, If you have time, plz kindly have a look for me 😀
Following information in that question, Firstly,I calculated variable cost per unit
because standard time for each unit is 3 minutes, so in 1 hour, piecework can create 20 units
variable cost: $18:20(unit)=0.9($/unit)
The organisation also guarantees its employees 80% of time based that mean total fix cost is: 80% *$20=$16
Total cost must be : 0.9*200+16=$196
But poor me, that result is not matching with any result that website provied :(( and actually, I dont know why…………
plz plz plz help me……….Thankyou guy so much ^^January 9, 2015 at 10:36 am #222181You will have to tell me which exam you are referring to!!
January 12, 2015 at 6:48 am #222366Yes, That question 7 from F2 Course Notes- Chapter 4 : Cost classification
The content: An organisation operates a piecework system of remuneration, but also guarantees its employees 80% of a time-based rate of pay which is based on $20 per hour for an eight hour working day. Three minutes is the standard time allowed per unit of output. Piecework is paid at the rate of $18 per standard hour
If an employee produces 200 units in eight hours on a particular day, what is the employee’s gross pay for that day?January 12, 2015 at 7:30 pm #222428The guaranteed pay is not extra pay. What is means is that they will be paid either the piece work rate or the guaranteed amount – whichever is the higher. They are guaranteed to receive at least the time based pay.
(Have you checked the answer at the back of the course notes?)
