Answer:

D. $2.30

Explanation:

The calculation of the cost per equivalent unit for direct material is given below:

= Total material cost ÷ Equivalent unit of materials

where,

Total material cost is $4,100

And, the equivalent unit of material is

= Units transferred out + ending work in process units

= 1,600 + 180

= 1,780

The units transferred out is come from

= Beginning units + started units - ending units

= 290 units + 1,490 units - 180 units

= 1,600 units

Therefore, the cost per equivalent for direct material is

= $4,100 ÷ 1,780 units

= $2.30
