Condiments Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup $(1,200$ pounds$)$ has the following standards:

$\backslash$table$[[,$Standard Quantity,Standard Price$],[$Whole tomatoes,$2,000lbs.,$$$0\mathrm{.}45$ per $lb.],[$Vinegar$,110$gal,$2\mathrm{.}70$ per gal.$],[$Corn syrup,$9$ gal.,$10\mathrm{.}00$ per gal.$],[$Salt$,44lbs.,2\mathrm{.}50$ per lb$.]]$

The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch $08-99$ were as follows:

$2,100lbs.$ of tomatoes

$106$gal. of vinegar

$10$ gal. of corn syrup

$43$ lbs$.$ of salt

a$.$ Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch. If required, round amounts to the nearest cent.
