If the worker produces less than the standard output, they are still paid for the standard output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this plan, wages are calculated as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Normal wages<\/strong> are calculated for the standard output, which is \u00a312 for 6 units.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bonus for excess output<\/strong>: If the worker produces more than the standard output (here, 6 units), they are rewarded with a bonus. The bonus rate is calculated as the difference between the actual output and the standard output, multiplied by the piece rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bonus for 8 units<\/strong>: [<br>\\text{Bonus} = (8 &#8211; 6) \\times 2 = 2 \\times 2 = 4<br>] Total wages = \u00a312 (standard wages) + \u00a34 (bonus) = <strong>\u00a316<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For 5 units<\/strong>: Since the output is less than the standard (6 units), the worker is still paid the standard wage of \u00a312 under the Hasley Plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of Wages:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Piece Rate System<\/strong>:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For 5 units: \u00a310<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For 8 units: \u00a316<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hasley Plan<\/strong>:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For 5 units: \u00a312 (standard wage)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For 8 units: \u00a316 (standard wage + bonus)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Under the <strong>Piece Rate System<\/strong>, wages vary directly with output.
