Steps to Solve
- Calculate Total Hours Worked
To find the total hours worked by the employee, we first need to determine the total number of days between June 23rd and July 4th, and then convert that to hours.
- From June 23 to June 30: 7 days.
- From July 1 to July 4: 4 days.
- Total days = 7 + 4 = 11 days.
- Total hours = 11 days × 24 hours/day = 264 hours.
- Determine Actual Units Produced
Next, we need to determine how many units were produced during the time worked. Since the time allowed is 10 units of work per hour:
- Actual units produced = Total hours worked × Time allowed = 264 hours × 10 units/hour = 2,640 units.
- Calculate Total Allowed Units
Next, we calculate the total time allowed based on the time allowed parameter:
- Total allowed units = Total hours worked × Time allowed = 264 hours × 10 units/hour = 2,640 units.
- Calculate Bonus Eligibility
Since the worker has produced more than the allowed units (2,640 units), we don't calculate bonus due to time saved. The time allowed is based on the actual hours worked.
- Calculate Total Wages
The wages can be calculated using the hourly rate:
- Total wages = Total hours worked × Rate per hour
- Total wages = 264 hours × Rs. 2/hour = Rs. 528.
- Calculate Total Compensation
Since there is no indication of bonus (as all time was worked effectively), we can conclude:
- Total compensation = Total wages + Bonus.
- Total compensation = Rs. 528 + Rs. 0 = Rs. 528.
The total amount of wages and bonus earned by the worker is Rs. 528.
More Information
The worker was paid for all the time worked during 11 days, receiving Rs. 2 per hour. The bonus was not triggered because they were working under the allowed time frame without any time saved beyond the expected output.
Tips
- Miscalculating the total hours worked by not considering both months correctly.
- Confusing the allowed units with the actual production, leading to incorrect bonus calculations.
- Forgetting to multiply the hourly rate by the total hours to find the total wages.
