Pavilion Company is using the high-low method to determine the fixed and variable components of its utilities expense, a semivariable cost.

In its high month, there were 3,600 direct labor hours and utilities expense was $12,000. Using the high-low method, what is the fixed cost per month, rounded to the nearest whole dollar?
