extra_info.answer: When hired, each employee is paid $15*40 = $<<15*40=600>>600 per week.
  The total earnings of a contracted employee in a month are 4 weeks * $600 per week = $<<4*600=2400>>2400
  Paying 40 employees, the company paid 40*$2400= $<<40*2400=96000>>96000 to all of its contract employees in May.
  In June, 1/4 of the employees' contracts expired, that is 1/4*40 = <<1/4*40=10>>10 employees.
  The total number of employees whose contracts were valid in June was 40-10 = <<40-10=30>>30 employees.
  The total amount of money paid to the contracted employees in June is 30*$2400 = $<<30*2400=72000>>72000
  In the two months, the company paid a total of $72000+$96000 = $<<72000+96000=168000>>168000
  #### 168000
