I imagine; the same way that they make money from every other service they provide.
It creates content on a website, on which ads are served. And it also provides information about what people are interested in, which is a valuable commodity in itself.
The more they know about the public, the more effective (and lucrative) the 'targeted' advertising.

Moment, I understood Google Answers is a service of Google, where you Ask a question and buy for the answer, so they make the money with the Money, i costs, do they not ?

I believe that all of the money that is paid for answers goes to the researchers, themselves. Sort of like sub-contractors.
So, no, I think that Google's only cash revenue would be from ad placement.

Actually Google receives 25% of the question amount, in addition to the 50 cent listing fee.
Reference, the Google Answers FAQ's:
How much do answers cost?
http://answers.google.com/answers/faq.html#cost
..."There is a non-refundable listing fee of $0.50 per question plus an additional 'price' you set for your question that reflects how much you're willing to pay for an answer..."
How much should I pay for my question? What price should I set?
http://answers.google.com/answers/faq.html#howmuch
..."Three-quarters of your question price goes directly to the Researcher who answers your question; the other 25 percent goes to Google to support the service..."
