Please could someone help with this

Sales - the demand is expected to average 8000 units per month, at a selling price of £12.00 per unit
Materials - the product requires 0.5 kg of material U for each unit
Labour - each unit requires 12 minutes of labour at £18 per hour.
Overheads - the product would be manufactured in a seperate facotry, with total fixed production overheads of £16000 per month
Profit - the grss margin required is at least 25%

Max prod cost per unit = £9.00
Build up of max prod cost per unit
Materials = £3.40
Labour = £3.60
Overheads = £2.00

What is the max cost per kilo for Mat U ?
I have been looking at this so long now I probably can't see the obvious!!

Appreciate anyone that could help me

Thanks

    Re: material U
