Explanation / Answer

10 mechanics arrive per hour, so the total mechanic time saved per hour by employing an assistant = 10 x (5-4) = 10 minutes

Cost of 10 minutes per hour = 20 x 10/60 = $ 3.33

Additional cost to be incurred to save this mechanic cost = $ 4 (cost of the assistant).

So it's not advisable to contract the assistant at $ 4 per hour.
