Answer: Third option is correct.
Step-by-step 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
[tex]1\frac{20}{60}\\\\=1\frac{1}{3}\\\\=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Number of hours is needed to type 1 word is given by
[tex]\frac{4}{3}\times 4160[/tex]
Number of hours is needed to type 16000 words is given by
[tex]\frac{4\times 16000}{3\times 4160}\times 17.65[/tex]
Now, the clerk cost per hour = $17.65
So, the manual cost that will take to recreate by the firm is given by
[tex]\frac{4\times 16000}{3\times 4160}\times 17.65\\\\=\$90.51[/tex]
Hence, Third option is correct.
