Which of the following wage incentive plan is applied to all workers?

Halsey Premium plan
Day work plan
Earliest finish time can be regarded as
Earliest start time + duration of activity
Earliest start time duration of activity
Latest finish time + duration of activity
Latest finish time duration of activity
According to Rowan plan of wage incentive system, bonus is paid to a worker
Whose output exceeds 67% efficiency
On the percentage of time saved
On the percentage of time worked
On the percentage of standard time
If (R) is the base rate guaranteed per hour, (S) is the standard time for the job and (T) is the actual time, then according to Rowan plan, wages for the job will be
