To find the dosage per pound, we need to convert mcg/kg to mcg/lb. 
30 mcg/kg * (1 kg/2.20462 lbs) = 13.62 mcg/lb

Now, to find the dosage for our dog weighing 24 pounds, we can use the following formula:
Dosage = Weight (in lbs) x Dosage per lb

Dosage = 24 lbs x 13.62 mcg/lb
Dosage = 326.88 mcg (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, choice B is correct.
