H$.$J$.$ Heinz Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup $(1,700$ pounds$)$ has the following standards:

$\backslash$table$[[,$Standard Quantity,Standard Price$],[$Whole tomatoes,$2,800lbs.,$$$0\mathrm{.}39$ per lb$.],[$Vinegar$,160$gal,,$2\mathrm{.}40$ per gal.$],[$Corn syrup,$14$gal,,$8\mathrm{.}70$ per gal.$],[$Salt$,64lbs.,2\mathrm{.}20$ 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:

$2,900$ lbs$.$ of tomatoes

$154$gal, of vinegar

$15$gal. of com syrup

$63$ Ibs. of salt

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