The issue lies in the rate in cell C21. Essentially you are taking $520 divided by 39 which actually gives an answer of 13.333... Then you multiply 13.333... again by 39 which gives you back your original $520.
You should use the following formula in cell C21 if you desire $519.87 as a result in cell D21:
=ROUND(E14/B21,2)Hope this helps!

Hi,
The "Rate" column is wrongly set to "Accounting" format
Set it to General format>> Then in cell C21 type =Round(E14/B21,2)
Mind the Cell locking of E14 if you are copying this formula
Good Luck
Hope that helps
