The total cost of the consulting job = (Indirect cost per hour + Direct cost per hour ) * Total hours

The total cost of the consulting job = ( $11 per hour + $60 per hour ) * 20 hours

= $ 71 * 20 = $ 1,420

Here , the Indirect cost per hour is $ 11 ( 7,700 / 700 )

Direct cost per hour is $ 60

And the total number of hours billed is 20
