Time study calculations: role of the rating factor In time study, after observing cycles, what does multiplying by the performance rating (rating factor) determine? Choose the correct outcome.

Difficulty: Easy

Standard time of a job
Merit rating of the worker
Fixation of incentive rate
Normal time of a worker

Correct Answer: Normal time of a worker

Explanation:

Given/Concept
Observed Time × Rating Factor = Normal Time. Then Standard Time = Normal Time × (1 + Allowances).

Step-by-step
1) Observe cycle times → average → representative time.2) Apply rating factor → normal time.3) Add allowances → standard time.

Final Answer
Normal time of a worker
