10. Alaska Bar The worst case scenario is that all entries are rounded upward to the next higher hour or half hour: an entry of X.5 hours may represent X.1, X.2, X.3, X.4, or X.5. The average of these is X.3. The overstatement is 0.2. If fewer than all entries are in even hour or half-hour amounts, an allowance should be made by taking the number of unrounded entries and multiplying it by 125% to allow for the expected number of round hour and half-hour entries. The adjustment factor is then applied to the remaining percentage of entries.
