15. Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $170 and $130, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $6 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 116,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:

	Alpha				Beta
Direct materials		$	30			$	18
Direct labor			30				25
Variable manufacturing overhead			20				15
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			26				28
Variable selling expenses			22				18
Common fixed expenses			25				20
Total cost per unit		$	153			$	124

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

Assume that Canes customers would buy a maximum of 90,000 units of Alpha and 70,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the raw material available for production is limited to 221,000 pounds. If Cane uses its 221,000 pounds of raw materials, up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
