Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Variable selling and administrative expense per unit = $7.30
Budgeted unit sales for August = 4,600 units

Total variable selling and administrative expense = $7.30 x 4,600 = $33,580

Fixed selling and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) = $51,980 - $6,440 = $45,540

Total selling and administrative expense budget for August = Total variable selling and administrative expense + Fixed selling and administrative expense = $33,580 + $45,540 = $79,120

Therefore, the cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the August budget should be $79,120. Hence, the correct choice is C.
