Using time allowed from output, time saved and the hourly rate: A earns ₹420 (Halsey) / ₹450 (Rowan); B earns ₹432 (Halsey) / ₹460.80 (Rowan).

Formulae:

  • Time allowed = (Time allowed per 100 units ÷ 100) × Actual units produced.
  • Time saved = Time allowed − Time taken.
  • Basic time wage = Time taken × Hourly rate.
  • Halsey bonus = 50% × Time saved × Hourly rate; Halsey earnings = Basic wage + Halsey bonus.
  • Rowan bonus = (Time saved ÷ Time allowed) × Time taken × Hourly rate; Rowan earnings = Basic wage + Rowan bonus.

(The wages are based on the guaranteed hourly time rate; the "wage per unit" figure is the piece-basis alternative and is not used in the Halsey/Rowan time-bonus computation.)

Step 1 — Time allowed and time saved:

ParticularsEmployee AEmployee B
Time allowed per 100 units (hrs)3540
Actual units produced200150
Time allowed = (hrs/100) × units35 × 200/100 = 7040 × 150/100 = 60
Actual time taken (hrs)5048
Time saved (hrs)2012
Hourly rate (₹)78
Basic time wage = taken × rate (₹)50 × 7 = 35048 × 8 = 384

Step 2 — (a) Halsey premium bonus plan:
