    the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials is $2.76

    Explanation:

    First Determine the Total Equivalent Units for Direct Materials.

    Note : direct materials are added at the beginning of the process

    Units completed and transferred out ( 110,700*100%) = 110,700

    Ending Work - In - Process ( 43,000*100%) = 43,000

    Total = 153,700

    Next determine the Total Cost of Direct Materials Incurred during the period.

    Opening Work - In - Process = $34,000

    Added During the year = $390,100

    Total = $424,100

    Then determine the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials

    Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost of Direct Materials/Total Equivalent Units for Direct Materials

    = $424,100 / 153,700

    = $2.76
