    A differential piecework payment scheme operates in the packing department of a factory. Straight piece rate is $ 10 per unit. Details of the scheme are as follows:

    Units packed per week ——- premium rate per unit

    1-2000 units per week ——- 50 cents per unit

    2001 to 3000 units per week ——- 65 cents per unit

    3001 to 4000 units per week ——- 75 cents per unit

    Only extra units packed, over the previous threshold, qualify for the higher rates.

    If 3240 units were packed, how much would be paid in wages??

    A. $15,274

    B. $ 24, 876

    C. $ 30,000

    D. $ 34, 230

    I get D by calculating premium rates for 3240 units and adding in the standard ($ 3240 * $ 10).

    Is this solution correct??

    It seems to be (but why on earth are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers – they have answers and explanations 🙂 )

    Thank you for your response.

    Yes, I am doing the BPP kit. I just found this question in a book (published by a local accountancy school).

    You should not waste time attempting questions for which you do not have an answer 😉

    Stick to the BPP Kit 🙂
