Answer:
$3 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the direct materials cost per equivalent unit is shown below:
Completed and transferred to finished goods 65,000 units
Equivalent number of additional units in process 15000 units
Beginning inventory material cost $57,500
Direct material cost incurred $183,000
Total direct material cost $240,500 ($57,500 + $183,000)
ANd, the total units is 80,000 (65,000 + 15,000)
So, the direct material cost per equivalent unit is
= $240,500 ÷ 80,000 units
= $3 per unit
