Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard time for a job made up of several elements requires the average observed time for each element as input. This allows for a more accurate and fair calculation of the total standard time for the job. B is not the best choice as using a single average observed time for all elements may not capture the variability and complexity of the job. C and D are also not the best choices as using a single performance rating factor or a separate allowance factor for each element may not account for differences in the difficulty or time required for each element.
