Darryl’s portfolio includes 66 shares of Essentia Inc., 95 shares of SFT Legal, and 180 shares of Grath Oil. If Essentia Inc. pays a yearly dividend of $1.79 per share, SFT Legal pays $2.62 per share, and Grath Oil pays $1.18 per share, how much does Darryl receive in dividends every year?

Answer
A
$610.39
B
$893.42
C
$402.38
D
