"test" can be a very bad name for a script! I've been very puzzled a couple

I have been experimenting with suid and am still having permission

lets say my script is called test and contains the following
touch /mnt/usb/testfile

what permisions should i see on that file if I ls -l test?
aka what -rw-r--r-- sequence should I see if I want that file to be
executable by all and have permissions of root during execution? and
that when I enter /test as non-root user the testfile is created
in /mnt/usb/
