Answer)

Calculation of price per unit

Price per unit = (Total cost + operating income)/ number of units sold

                          = (Total variable cost + Total fixed cost + Operating Income)/ number of units sold     

                         = [(300,000 X $ 2.30 per unit) + $ 980,000 + $ 300,000)]/ 300,000 Units

                          = ($ 690,000 + $ 980,000 + $ 300,000)/ 300,000 units

                          = 6.57 per unit (approximately)

Therefore the price per unit should be $ 6.57 per unit and the correct option in the given question is (a) $ 6.57 per unit
