During the month assume that 500 units of Product X were made of which 50 units were rejected as faulty. The basic rate of pay will remain at $3 per hour. In order to calculate the bonus a standard product time of 10 hours is to be allowed for each good unit of Product X.

450 good units made. Time these should take = 450 x 10 =4500 Actual time = 4200 Time saved = 300 Bonus = 300 x $3 x 50% = 450.
