A restaurant's best-selling dish is its signature pizza. To bring this pizza to the customer's plate, 20 minutes of normal time is required by each worker for which each worker is rewarded a 10 percent allowance. What would be the standard time for preparing a single signature pizza?

Rationale

The standard time for preparing a single signature pizza is 22 minutes.

To calculate the standard time, we consider the normal time of 20 minutes and add a 10 percent allowance for the workers. This results in a total standard time of 22 minutes, which accounts for potential delays and inefficiencies in the preparation process.

A (20 minutes) YOUR ANSWER

This choice is incorrect as it underestimates the actual time required for preparing the pizza. A time of only 2 minutes would not allow for the necessary preparation and cooking process, which is established at 20 minutes of normal working time.

B (22 minutes) CORRECT

This is the correct answer, calculated by taking the normal time of 20 minutes and adding a 10 percent allowance (which is 2 minutes), resulting in a total of 22 minutes. This standard time effectively accommodates the variations in work performance.

C (200 minutes) YOUR ANSWER

This option is far too high and does not reflect the actual time needed for pizza preparation. A time of 200 minutes would imply an extreme inefficiency or an erroneous calculation, far exceeding the standard working time.

D (2 minutes) YOUR ANSWER

While this choice reflects the normal time required for preparing the pizza, it fails to account for the 10 percent allowance for inefficiencies. Thus, it does not provide the accurate standard time needed for preparation in a real-world scenario.

Conclusion

The standard time for preparing a signature pizza is determined to be 22 minutes, taking into account the normal preparation time and the necessary allowance for workers. By properly calculating this allowance, the restaurant can better manage expectations and ensure efficiency in its operations. All other options fail to accurately reflect the correct standard time needed for this task.
