Answer:
a.$3.00
Explanation:
The computation of the material cost per equivalent unit is shown below:
But before that equivalent units should be
= 3,000 ×0%+ (11,500 - 3,000) ×100% + 1,500 × 100%
= 0 + 8,500+ 1,500
= 10,000 units
Now the material cost per equivalent cost is
= $30,000 ÷ 10,000 units
= $3
Hence, the first option is correct
