Table H.1
A worker was observed for four cycles in a repetitive task that contains four distinct elements.The observer recorded the following items in seconds,using the continuous method.

-Use the information in Table H.1.Work element 1 receives a performance rating factor of 1.4 and is performed every other cycle.If the company uses an allowance time of 15 percent,what is the standard time for this work element?
A)fewer than 12 seconds
B)greater than or equal to 12 seconds but fewer than 13 seconds
C)greater than or equal to 13 seconds but fewer than 14 seconds
D)greater than or equal to 14 seconds

The standard time is calculated by multiplying the observed time by the performance rating factor and then adding the allowance. Since the work element is performed every other cycle, the observed time is effectively halved. The calculation results in a standard time between 13 and 14 seconds.
