The total cost incurred by the company due to three workers arriving 15 minutes late is $8.25. This is calculated by multiplying the total late hours by the hourly wage. Each worker's 15 minutes of tardiness collectively amounts to 0.75 hours, resulting in a cost of $8.25 when multiplied by the hourly rate of $11.
