Time has a cost associated with it. The cost of an employee’s time can be determined by being paid “X” amount per hour. For this situation, two warehouse employees are paid $10 per hour. It takes 15 minutes to use a cherry picker to retrieve a box of product from a rack and transport the item to the loading dock for shipment. This is a company that prides itself on having a safe work environment. When one worker is using a cherry picker, they assign someone else to be the “spotter,” to be a buddy for safety’s sake. Given the cost of the employees’ time to get the product off the rack, the “handling fee” for this product would be at least _____.

A $10.00
B $2.50
C $5.00
D $0.25
