Question

The time study analyst at Dorben Company developed the following snapback stopwatch readings where elemental performance rating was used. The allowance for this element was assigned a value of 16 percent. What would be the standard time for this element? (Show all computations for full credit)

Answer 1

To calculate the standard time for the snapback stopwatch readings with a 16% allowance, we first calculate the average time and then add the allowance. The standard time for this element is approximately 1.10 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the standard time for this element, we need to calculate the average time for the snapback stopwatch readings. Let's assume the readings are as follows: 0.93, 0.98, 0.85, 0.91, 1.05.

To calculate the average time, we sum up all the readings and divide by the number of readings: (0.93 + 0.98 + 0.85 + 0.91 + 1.05) / 5 = 4.72 / 5 = 0.944 seconds.

Next, we need to calculate the standard time by adding the allowance to the average time: 0.944 + (0.944 * 16%) = 0.944 + 0.15104 = 1.09504 seconds.

Therefore, the standard time for this element is approximately 1.10 seconds.
