An estimating allowance assigns five labor-minutes to each of 42 device-box extensions. What total person-hours does this allowance represent, excluding other tasks?
Correct Answer
B) 3.5 hours.
42 × 5 = 210 labor-minutes; 210 ÷ 60 = 3.5 person-hours. This is an estimating allowance, not an electrical-code installation rule or payroll premium.
