Why each option
This question requires calculating the actual total cost of resources by accounting for deviations from their scheduled work hours.
This value is incorrect, likely resulting from a miscalculation of the actual hours worked by one or both resources.
The first resource worked 144 hours (160 scheduled - 16 sick hours), and the second resource worked 164 hours (160 scheduled + 4 additional hours), totaling 308 actual hours. Multiplying the 308 actual hours by the $85 hourly rate yields a total cost of $26,180.
This value represents the initially scheduled cost of $27,200 (320 hours * $85) before accounting for the sick leave and additional hours, not the actual incurred cost.
This value is incorrect, potentially from an error in calculating the net change in hours or applying the hourly rate.
