A. $3.00
B. $3.80
C. $2.92
D. $2.31

Option A is correct

Cost per equivalent unit for material - $3

Explanation:

Cost per equivalent unit = Total direct material cost / Total equivalent unit

Equivalent units of materials

Item                                                       Equivalent unit

Opening inventory    3000×0%  =          0

Fully worked               8,500× 100% =    8,500

Closing inventory        1,500 ×100%=      1,500

Total equivalent units                             10,000

Notes:

Fully worked represent the units started and completed in July

Fully worked = newly introduced units in July - Closing inventory in July

Fully worked = 10,000 -1500 = 8,500

Cost per equivalent unit = Total direct material cost / Total equivalent unit

                                            = 30,000/10,000=$3

Cost per equivalent unit for material =$3
