Answer:

While estimating standard time of doing a job, some extra allowances are provided on the basis of nature of work. In this connection, different factors, like monotony, light, awkwardness, muscular force required etc. are taken into consideration. Calculation of this allowance is shown below:

  1. Personal allowance is a basic allowance. It has been allowed for all jobs. It is fixed at 5%
  2. Basic Fatigue allowance of 4% is also common. It is allowed in all jobs.
  3. Standing: 0% allowance is required for standing in a slightly awkward position and further it will increase on the basis of awkwardness.
  4. Lifting: Any work requiring muscular or force energy will be provided lifting allowance. It will vary on the basis of weight lifted. Here 25 lbs. weight has been lifted. Hence, 4% lifting allowance has been provided.
  5. Bad light: It is available only when light is well below the recommended level. Here light is slightly below the recommended level. Hence, 0% allowance is required for in light that is slightly below recommended standards.
  6. Noise level: A continuous noise is common in production activities. For intermittent loud noises occurring a 2% allowance is provided.
  7. Monotony: As the monotony for the element is low for this work. No extra allowance is required. 0% is required for low monotony.
