The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Dure Corporation's cost formula for its selling and administrative expense is $24,500 per month plus $1 per unit. For July, the company planned for activity of 7,200 units, but the actual level of activity was 7,160 units.

Fixed costs = 24,500

Variable cost = $1 per unit

We need to calculate the total cost for July.

Total cost = 24,500 + 1*x

x = number of units

Total cost = 24,500 + 7,160*1 = $31,660
