Standard output in a day of 8 hours is 56 units. Rate per unit is Rs. 100 and a worker worked 180 hours in a month. Required: Monthly wages of a worker [2]

Monthly wages of a worker

1. Calculate standard output per hour: $$\text{Standard output per hour}=\frac{\text{Standard output in a day}}{\text{Hours worked per day}}=\frac{56\text{ units}}{8\text{ hours}}=7\text{ units/hour}$$

2. Calculate standard output for 180 hours: $$\text{Standard output for 180 hours}=7\text{ units/hour}\times 180\text{ hours}=1260\text{ units}$$

3. Calculate wages for standard output: $$\text{Wages for standard output}=1260\text{ units}\times \text{Rs. }100/\text{unit}=\text{Rs. }126,000$$

4. Since the worker worked 180 hours (exactly 22.5 days at 8 hours/day), no overtime or under/over-production applies. Thus, the total wages are: $$\boxed{\text{Rs. }126,000}$$
