We have the following information
Number of units produced in an hour = 3 units
Three workers are required at a rate of $15/hour
So, the annual variable cost for Alternative 2 is 5X. This is because, 3 workers are needed to produce 3 units in an hour, so it means one worker is needed to produce one unit in an hour. The total rate is $15 per hour which means each one is getting $5 per hour.
