It takes one day for Peter Gibbons to complete a TPS report and attach the cover sheet. During that day, Peter spends about 15 minutes performing actual work and the other 7 hours and 45 minutes spacing out. Peter's percent value added time is:

(A) 97%
(B) 3%
(C) 75%
(D) 25%

Answer (1)

To determine Peter Gibbons' percent value added time, we need to calculate the proportion of time he spends actually working compared to the total time he spends on the task.

Determine Total Time:

Peter spends a total of 8 hours a day completing a TPS report, including both working and spacing out.


Determine Actual Work Time:

Peter only spends 15 minutes of the 8 hours actually working on the report.
To make calculations easier, convert the 15 minutes into hours: 60 15 ​ = 4 1 ​ hours or 0.25 hours.


Calculate Percent Value Added Time:

The percent value added time is the ratio of the actual work time to the total time, expressed as a percentage.
The formula is: Percent Value Added Time = ( Total Time Actual Work Time ​ ) × 100%
Substituting the values we have: ( 8 0.25 ​ ) × 100% = 3.125%



Since the options given are whole numbers, we round 3.125% to 3%.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (B) 3%.
