    Dear John,

    Please can you explain how the decimals (under the standard hours heading) were calculated?

    Product Units Standard Machine Hours Actual Production Units
    W 15000 3000 12000
    X 20000 8000 25000
    Y 14000 7000 16000
    Z 6000 9000 5000

    Total Machine Hours worked in the period amounted to 29,000 hours.

    What was the efficiency ratio in the year, as a percentage to one decimal place?

    Answer:

    Product Units Standard Hours
    W 12000 (x0.2) 2400
    X 25000 (x0.4) 10000
    Y 16000 (x0.5) 8000
    Z 5000 (x1.5) 7500

    For W, the standard hours per unit are 3,000/15,000 = 0.2

    It is the same logic for each of the other three 🙂
