Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the cost per unit for materials using the weighted average method, we need to divide the total cost of materials added during the month by the total number of units started and completed during the month.
Total materials cost added = $64,800
Total units started and completed = 22,500

Cost per unit for materials = $64,800 ÷ 22,500 = $2.88 (rounded to two decimal places)
