    Standard unit materials cost per pound=$1.11 per pound

    Explanation:

    The standard material cost for a standard batch = Total material cost / standard qty (in pounds)

    Total material cost = (3,800 * $0.46) + (210 * 2.80) (84*2.60) = $2554.4

    Total standard quantity = 2,300 pounds

    Standard unit materials cost per pound = $2554.4 / 2,300 pounds=$1.11 per pounds

    standard unit materials cost per pound=$1.11 per pound
