S-1 S-2 S-3

Time for 1 unit (in minutes) 30 24 21

Units in 1 hour 2 2.5 2.857142857

(60/30= 2)

(60/24=2.5)

(60/21=2.857142857)

Wages per hour $ 16.00 $ 19.00 $ 22.00

Wages per/ unit $ 8.00 $7.60 7.70

($ 16.00/2=$8)

($ 19.00/2.5=$ 7.60)

($ 22.00/2.857142857=$ 7.70)

Ranking

S-1 $ 8.00 III

S-2. $7.60 I

S-3 7.70 II
