    The total cost of this trip for the company is $1,124.

    Explanation:

    Distance Drove = 480 miles

    Speed = 60 miles per hour

    Gas consumption = 480 / 20 = 24 gallons

    Time Taken = 480 / 60 = 80 hours

    Gallon of Gas Rate = $3 per gallon

    Employee Pay rate = $12 per hour

    Maintenance cost = $0.15 per mile

    Total Cost of Trip for the company = (24 x $3) + (80 x $12) + (480 x $0.15)

    Total Cost of Trip for the company = $72 + $960 + $72

    Total Cost of Trip for the company = $1,124
