Default how to multiply time by money

Excel gives you right answer. This is because one hour is displayed as 1:00
but real value of this cell is 0,0416666666666667,try to format number like
general in this cell to see this. Excel represent time like portions of day
(12 hours is 0,5 of day and so on...).
In you example excel think that you want to multiply 1 hour X10, and give
result of 0,42, which is corect fraction of day (10 hours = 0,42 days).
To get result you want, multiplay amount of time with 24.

Cell b2 is subtracting from b1 to give me a calculation on the amount of
time
for that day in b3. But when I try to get cell b4 (which is a dollar
amount) to multiply by b3 (time amount) the answer is wrong. Example,
1:00
(hour) * $10.00. Exel keeps telling me the answer is $0.42, insted of
$10.00. Help!
