I have no clue why, but this table works for me; the original one does
not...

   |   | Date        | Hours | Rate | Cost |
   | ! |             | hours | rate | cost |
   |---+-------------+-------+------+------|
   | # | February 9  |  4.00 |   38 | 152. |
   | # | February 10 |  4.00 |   38 | 152. |
   | # | February 11 |  4.00 |   38 | 152. |
   | # | February 12 |  4.00 |   38 | 152. |
   | # | February 13 |  4.00 |   38 | 152. |
   |---+-------------+-------+------+------|
   | # |             |   20. |      | 760. |
   | ^ |             |   hrs |      |  ttl |
   #+TBLFM: $5=$hours*$rate::$hrs=vsum(@I..@II)::$ttl=vsum(@I..@II)
