Looks OK to me...

=("4:50 P"-"6:30 A")*24*2 is indeed 20.67

No, I wasn't thinking that...

You'd be surprised how many people struggle with
time conversions is Excel. The important this to
remember is that Excel stores date/time values
as fractional parts of a day. 8 hours and 40
minutes is 0.361 of a day. To get from days to
hours you must multiply by 24...

(days)*(hours/day)*($/hour)

The days "cancel out" and so do the hours leaving
just dollars. Obviously, if you multiply
(days)*($/hour) you can simplify the units and
you get an "apples and oranges" kinda thing
going on! : ) : Looks OK to me... : =("4:50 P"-"6:30 A")*24*2 is indeed 20.67
