    Question 1
    Mr. X
    Wages Rate per Hour Rs. 20
    Time allowed for the job 50 hours
    Time Taken 55 hours
    Total Earning 55 x 20 = 1,100.00
    Mr. Y
    Wages Rate per Hour Rs. 20
    Time allowed for the job 50 hours
    Time Taken 40 hours
    Total Earning 40 x 20 = 8,00.00
    Mr. Z
    Wages Rate per Hour Rs. 20
    Time allowed for the job 50 hours
    Time Taken 15 hours
    Total Earning 15 x 20 = 300.00
    Question 2

    Mr. X
    Bonus Rate= Time allowed – Actual Time taken x 100
    Time Allowed
    = 50-55 x 100
    50
    Bonus Rate= -10%
    Gross Earning
    Basic Pay 55 x 20 = 1,100
    Bonus Pay 1,100x -10% = -110
    990
    Effective Rate of Earning = 990 /55 hours = Rs. 18
    Mr. Y
    Bonus Rate= Time allowed – Actual Time taken x 100
    Time Allowed
    = 50-40 x 100
    50
    Bonus Rate= 20%
    Gross Earning
    Basic Pay 40 x 20 = 800
    Bonus Pay 800 x 20% = 160
    960
    Effective Rate of Earning = 960 /40 hours = Rs. 24
    Mr. Z
    Bonus Rate= Time allowed – Actual Time taken x 100
    Time Allowed
    = 50-15 x 100
    50
    Bonus Rate= 70%
    Gross Earning
    Basic Pay 15 x 20 = 300
    Bonus Pay 300x 70% = 210
    510
    Effective Rate of Earning = 510 /15 hours = Rs. 34
    Any body can guide how to use the time rate .

    It attributes the job losses to employers increasing prices to deal with the higher wages , which would lower demand and therefore their need more workers as well as to some employers substituting machines or technology for workers due to the higher cost of wages .
    But business may respond to a higher and policy research, john Schmitt argues that they can benefit from improved efficiency and lower turnover a higher wages may lead employers to push ,the majority to work harder ,which can be preferable to cutting hours or workers . in fact ,the majority of fast food restaurants in Georgia and Alabama said they would respond to a minimum wages increase with higher performance standards

    According to my knowledge my solution is as follow
    Total earning of MR X
    Working completion hours Mr. X is = 55
    But fixed for job only 50hours @ 20
    So he will be paid 50x20 = Rs.1000

    Total earning of MR Y
    Working hours(40) wages 40x20 = 800
    His Working hours 40 out of 50hours
    Saving in time 10hr out of 50hr so, = 50x40/100= 20% saving of time
    First 10% saving hours = 5x04 = Rs.20
    For next 10% saving hours = 5x08 = Rs.40
    Rs.60
    Wages for working hours= 800
    Add bonus of Rs. = 60
    Total earning of Mr Y = 860

    Total earning of MR Z
    wages 15hoursx20 = 300
    His Working hours 15 out of 50hours
    Saving in time 35hr out of 50hr so, = 35x100/50= 70% saving of time
    First 10% saving hours = 5x04 = Rs.20
    For next 30% saving hours = 15x08 = Rs.120
    For next 20% saving hours = 10x06 = Rs.60
    For balance (10%)out of 70%=5x01= Rs. 05
    Bonus Rs.205
    Wages for working hours= 300
    Add bonus of Rs. = 205
    Total earning of Mr Z = 505
