MS project 2013 - 13 hours days no overtime

I am kinda new at project 2013.  I need to set up several project where the resources are the same on each project and they work 13 hour days - no overtime.
I have tried doing this but when I auto schedule the  duration summary goes to 3.3 day when it should be 3 days?

I would appreciate any and all suggestions on how to set up these projects.

3 Days of 13 hours = 49 hours 6 Days of 13 hours = Total of 3.25 (24 hour) Days.

so help me out here. I need to schedule a guy for a 13 hour day and when the cost rolls up, based on his hourly rate, it will show 13 x $45 = $585.
Do I need to set the duration at 13 hours?
also if I add 3 resources to the task I want the task to stay at one day (13 hours)  and the cost to be 3 x 45 x 13 = 1755
Which task type should I use?
...sorry I am just learning

Ah, so you have 3 x 4h working time and 2 x 0.5 h breaks. Correct?
As lunch is not paid, do you only want to see the 12.5 hours as cost per day as it seems this is what the resource effectively is paid for? Are the breaks essential for your schedule or could you just set every single work day to 12.5 hours? Then after assigning a resource with 100% (which is the default) you will have 12.5 hours work per day.
