    b. The cost of materials decreased by $0.29 per unit, indicating an improvement.

    Explanation:

    We have to determine the material cost per unit which is shown below:

    Material Cost per unit = Cost of material consumed : number of equivalent units produced

    For June, it would be

    = $38,000 : 4,000 units

    = $9.5 per unit

    For July, it would be

    = $39,125 : 4,250 units

    = $9.21 per unit

    So, the change in the cost of material is

    = $9.5 - $9.21

    = $0.29 per units
