    The direct material cost per bar is $0.30

    Explanation:

    Using the batch costs available to us relating to Direct Material, we first need to calculate the per unit cost of each component of direct material.

    Per unit cost of each component

    Cocoa - Total cost per batch = 510 * 0.3 = $153

    Cocoa - Cost per unit = 153 / 1410 = $0.1085 per unit

    Sugar - Total cost per batch = 150 * 0.6 = $90

    Sugar - Cost per unit = $0.0638 per unit

    Milk - Total cost per batch = 120 * 1.5 = $180

    Milk - Cost per unit = 180 / 1410 = $0.1277 per unit

    Direct material cost per bar = 0.1085 + 0.0638 + 0.1277 = $0.30 per bar
