Hi sir,
Please explain the following:
An employee is paid on a piecework basis. The basis of the piecework scheme is as follows:
1 to 100 units – $0.20 per unit
101 to 200 units – $0.30 per unit
201 to 299 units – $0.40 per unitwith only the additional units qualifying for the higher rates. Rejected units do not qualify for payment.
During a particular day the employee produced 210 units of which 17 were rejected as faulty.
What did the employee earn for their day’s work?
In the BPP, the question wasn’t worked out like the practice question similar to the above.
In future you must ask in the Ask the Tutor Forum if you are wanting for me to answer. This forum is for students to help each other.
They will be paid for 210 – 17 = 193 units
100 of them will be paid at $0.20 per unit
the remaining 93 will be paid at $0.30 per unit.But, how does it affect the cost that falled in between 101-200units indicating $0.30, I am still not cleared sir.
