Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $180 and $145, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $6 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 118,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:

	Alpha	Beta
Direct materials	$ 36	$ 24
Direct labor	32	27
Variable manufacturing overhead	19	17
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead	27	30
Variable selling expenses	24	20
Common fixed expenses	27	22
Total cost per unit	$ 165	$ 140

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.

15. Assume that Canes customers would buy a maximum of 92,000 units of Alpha and 72,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the companys raw material available for production is limited to 300,000 pounds. If Cane uses its 300,000 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.)
