The standard time for the job can be calculated using the formula: Standard Time = (Observed Time x Performance Rating x Number of Cycles + Allowance). Here, the observed time is 10 minutes, the performance rating is 0.90, and the allowance is 20% of the job time. First, calculate the normal time: Normal Time = Observed Time x Performance Rating = 10 x 0.90 = 9 minutes. Then, add the allowance: Allowance = 20% of Normal Time = 20% of 9 = 1.8 minutes. Therefore, Standard Time = Normal Time + Allowance = 9 + 1.8 = 10.8 minutes.
