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
