Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Third option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of words the manual contains= 16000

Number of words typed by a clerk in one hour and 20 minutes = 4160

According to question we will use "Unitary method":

Number of hours is need to type 4160 words is given by

`1(20)/(60)\\\\=1(1)/(3)\\\\=(4)/(3)`

Number of hours is needed to type 1 word is given by

`(4)/(3)* 4160`

Number of hours is needed to type 16000 words is given by

`(4* 16000)/(3* 4160)* 17.65`

Now, the clerk cost per hour = $17.65

So, the manual cost that will take to recreate by the firm is given by

`(4* 16000)/(3* 4160)* 17.65\\\\=\$90.51`

Hence, Third option is correct.
