3325module3-4. Jane supervises several people assigned the job of checking, duplication, and mailing reports received from a government agency. Jane needs to know how many reports a normal worker should be able to do per week. By establishing a standard, Jane can plan the workload and know whether a worker should be rewarded for high performance or disciplined for poor performance. No two reports are exactly alike, so the job cannot be studied with a stopwatch. Jane decides to study Mary Alice, a good, but not outstanding worker, and use her performance to establish a standard. Here is the information she has gathered for setting up work a standard

Group of answer choices
Conditional time (% of observed time) is not 900 minutes.
Selected time is more than 700 minutes.
Normalized time is more than 720 minutes
Normalized cycle time per output during the study is 40.78 minutes.
Allowance factor is 1.16
Standard time per output unit is 47
Hours per output unit, hours/per unit is 0.78
Output units per minute, units/per minute is more than 0.03
Output units per hour, units/per hour is 1.00
Standard time to complete these output units is 40.78
Efficiency rating (time), is 1.30
Standard output units during this time=(hours worked)/(hours/per unit) is 51.00
