An initial analysis of a labouratory activity resulted in the first table below. After this analysis, the managers determined that their element descriptions were not as accurate as they should have been—they had left out an element, underestimated a distance, and understated the need for accuracy. They revised the table of element data, which appears in the second table.
Calculate the total standard minutes for the original activity "pouring tube specimen." Calculate the total standard minutes for the revised activity "pouring tube specimen." What is the increase, in seconds, from the first version to the second?

The elements of the original description add to 238 TMU. The total standard minutes for the original description is thus 238 × .0006 = 0.1428 minutes. After the elements were revised, the activity totals 313 TMU. Total standard minutes rises to 313 × .0006 = 0.1878 minutes. The increase is 0.0450 minutes or 2.7 seconds.
