?The correct answer is: $70.?

The rate of $10 per hour is not relevant because it would be paid anyway. The relevant?hourly rate is the incremental cost of $9 per hour.?

Skilled labour 5 hour × $9? ? ? ? ? ? =? ? ? 45?

Semi skilled 5 hours × $5? ? ? ? ? ? =? ? ? 25?

Total? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ?=? ? $70?

If you chose $45 you missed out the semi skilled labour.?

If you chose $50 you costed all of the hours at the $10 per hour which is the rate for the?skilled employee, but not the relevant one in this scenario.?

If you chose $75 you then added the 5 hours at $5 to this $50. In other words all hours?were costed using normal hourly rates.?
